Winnie-the-Pooh: Now We Are Six by A.A. Milne
See the world through the eyes of Christopher Robin and his companion Winnie-the-Pooh in this timeless collection of verse, a treasure trove of favourite nursery poems including Us Two, Sneezles and The End. This work by A.A.Milne includes poems for children which feature Pooh helping Christopher Robin with his schoolwork (if helping is the word). It is an evocation of childhood, through the eyes of the six-year-old Christopher Robin.
In this stunning 100th anniversary paperback edition, A.A.Milne’s classic poetry is once again brought to life by E.H.Shepard’s beautiful, coloured decorations. Now We Are Six is a heart-warming and funny introduction to children’s poetry, offering the same sense of humour, imagination and whimsy that we’ve come to expect from his favourite books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain. Milne and Shepard had a unique working relationship for their time, in that they closely collaborated on the design of the storybooks and poetry.
This joint approach to laying out the words and illustrations was clearly the perfect partnership; Shepard entirely captured the charm of Pooh’s world, created by Milne, resulting in the gorgeous books we all know and love. The nation’s favourite Silly Old Bear has been delighting generations of children for 100 years. Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.
