Description

Gorgeous gold-foiled hardback facsimile edition of When We Were Very Young presented in a gold-foiled slipcase
Curl up with this special facsimile edition of A.A.Milnes classic book of poetry for children, When We Were Very Young. This gold-foiled hardback edition has been reproduced with all the printer marks and irregularities that were present in the edition first printed in 1924. It is presented in a stylish gold-foiled slipcase with a beautiful paper bellyband wrapped around it.

When We Were Very Young is Milnes first volume of rhymes written especially for children. Its as popular now as when it was first written. This collection offers the same sense of humour, imagination and whimsy that weve come to expect from Milne's books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain.

This facsimile edition is all the more special due to E.H.Shepards decorations, which are shown in their original black line glory. They are truly iconic and contributed to him being known as the man who drew Pooh.

Author Bio

A.A. Milne was born in London in 1882 and became a successful playwright and poet. He based Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet and friends on the real nursery toys of his son Christopher Robin and published the first of their adventures in 1926. Since then, Pooh has become a world-famous bear, and Milne's stories have been translated into sixty-two languages.
