BOOK OF THE WEEK with Charlie Richards. Winnie The Pooh (Classic Edition), A. A. Milne, ISBN 978-1405211161 (Egmont) BD3.900 for Gulf Weekly Book Club members
‘Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders’ – it’s time to curl up with A.A. Milne’s true children’s classic.
Winnie-the-Pooh may be a bear of very little brain, but thanks to his friends Piglet, Eeyore and, of course, Christopher Robin, he’s never far from an adventure.
In this story Pooh gets into a tight place, nearly catches a Woozle and heads off on an ‘expotition’ to the North Pole with the other animals.
In this stunning edition, A.A. Milne’s world-famous story is once again brought to life by E.H. Shepard’s illustrations. Heart-warming and funny, Milne’s masterpiece reflects the power of a child’s imagination like no other story before, or since.
Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you’re five or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages.
