With a map in your hand, you know an adventure is about to begin '

Gorgeous 100th anniversary ranges paperback edition of the authorised sequel story collection by Jane Riordan, inspired by Milnes classic stories about everyones favourite bear.

Join Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and their friends as they delve deeper into the Forest than ever before. From blackberry throwing at the Prickly Place to stargazing at the Great Bear Lookout, theres a story waiting to be told in every corner of the Hundred Acre Wood.

This collection sees the introduction of Carmen, a little dog with lots of courage. Carmen may be small but she is mighty, and she has a loud ROAR! She was inspired by the discovery that A.A.Milne had a little toy dog mascot, which he called Carmen, with him during WW1.

Janes writing is filled with the gentle humour, friendship and life lessons that echo A.A.Milnes original stories. She has a true gift for conveying the essence of Milnes characters and the Hundred Acre Wood, while showing her real affection for Winnie-the-Pooh, a true bastion of British literary heritage.

One morning, Winnie-the-Pooh woke up with a tingling feeling in his toes that told him Something Good was about to happen

The stories also feature trips to the British Museum and the Tower of London.

These sequel stories will be enjoyed by both new and long-standing Winnie-the-Pooh fans of all ages.
