Description

Alan Alexander Milne (pronounced /ˈmɪln/) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems. Applicability of cancellation rights: Legal rights of cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations available for UK or EU consumers do not apply to certain products and services.

Contained in this treasury, are all the stories and adventures of Pooh and his dear friends, plus two volumes of poems. I'll admit, I didn't care for all of the poetry in here, but that is normally the case with me anyway. I much rather preferred the stories. This is a gem that every serious collector should have in their library, it's a treasure to be unveiled when in the company of an unsuspecting wide eyed child with an insatiable appetite for adventures and lessons on the importance of friendship and kindness to animals and the environment. He married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913, and their only son, Christopher Robin Milne, was born in 1920. In 1925, A. A. Milne bought a country home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex. During World War II, A. A. Milne was Captain of the Home Guard in Hartfield & Forest Row, insisting on being plain 'Mr. Milne' to the members of his platoon. He retired to the farm after a stroke and brain surgery in 1952 left him an invalid and by August 1953 "he seemed very old and disenchanted". Why settle for one Winnie-the-Pooh story, when you can have the complete collection of Alan Alexander Milne’s 30 stories?A. A. Milne was born in Kilburn, London, to parents Vince Milne and Sarah Marie Milne (née Heginbotham) and grew up at Henley House School, 6/7 Mortimer Road (now Crescent), Kilburn, a small public school run by his father. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells who taught there in 1889–90. Milne attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied on a mathematics scholarship. While there, he edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor. The Winnie the Pooh collection of stories by A.A. Milne was published in 1926. Milne wrote the stories for his son Christopher whose toy animals were the footing for the characters. Christopher also became the main character that looked after the animals. Winnie the Pooh, sometimes referred as simply Pooh or Edward Bear is delightful, friendly, lovable who very much enjoys lots and lots of honey. The nation's favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for 90 years. Milne's classic children's stories are both heart-warming and funny, teaching lessons of friendship and the magic of children’s imaginations. Parents can have plenty of fun reading these books too. Whether it’s a feeling of nostalgia or using different accents to represent the characters and animals in the book, reading these short stories out loud with children is a lovely way to bond and encourage their development in reading or listening skills. There are many routes and plots to be explored that prompt children’s imagination and emotions, with both ups and downs but in a playful way. Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken).

The familiar characters, Pooh, Eeyore, Owl, Piglet, Christopher Robin and the sparse appearances of Tigger are solid complex characters. Of the many surprises I encountered, the two that stood out were the dark undertones at the start of the story which introduced Kanga and Roo to the forest, which also presents the dark side of Rabbit's character, this turns up again in a second tale. There’s two volumes of poetry which didn’t really do it for me, I’m not an appreciator of poetry but it doesn’t really tarnish the book because the strength of the tales with Christopher Robin and co are story enough to keep anyone happy, and yes, as expected, the conclusion of the tales was very sad. Having been around for generations, the classic Winnie The Pooh Complete 30 books box set these books are a testament to kids’ books and children’s literary favourites. Each one starts with the memorable ‘Once upon a time’ and has a delightful story to tell that is easy for young minds to follow and engage with. Parents have often described this collection has ‘heart-warming’ and ‘charming’ thanks to the way they are written by the renowned A.A. Milne. Guaranteed to put a smile on their face, children will truly enjoy opening this collection – not only for the first time but over and over again. Suitable from newborn , there are an incredible thirty books for parents and children to choose from. Each one features the nation’s most loved and wonderful bear, Pooh, as he embarks on one big adventure after another with his forest friends in the 100 Acre Wood. There is plenty of fun, mischief and mayhem that takes place as well as the important value and moral of friendship that underpins each story. This is a gem that every serious collector should have in their library, it’s a treasure to be unveiled when in the company of an unsuspecting wide eyed child with an insatiable appetite for adventures and lessons on the importance of friendship and kindness to animals and the environment.Each book is perfectly contained in a slip, and presented in this unique gift box which will look stunning on any bookshelf. There are stunning and immediately recognisable illustrations on each cover and throughout each book which helps children to visualise the setting of Winnie the Pooh and his many adventures. The books are a perfect read before bed, or can be enjoyed in your very own ‘corner’. Even just 10 minutes a day reading can really support a child’s development books, right from birth. They will enjoy the pictures and bright colours but also the sound of a parent’s voice can be soothing and by including reading as part of their routine, it will soon become very familiar.
