Description

When We Were Very Young is A. A. Milnes classic book of poetry for children. This is the first volume of rhymes written especially for children by A.A. Milne as popular now as when they were first written. Featuring E. H. Shepards original illustrations, When We Were Very Young is a heart-warming and funny introduction to childrens poetry, offering the same sense of humour, imagination and whimsy that weve come to expect from Milnes bestselling books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain. This beautiful new edition, re-designed for Poohs 90th anniversary is highly collectable and will appeal to Pooh fans old and new.

Author Bio

A.A.Milne was born in London in 1882 and became a highly successful writer of plays, poems and novels. He based Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet and friends on the real nursery toys of his son Christopher Robin and published the first book of their adventures together in 1926. Since then, Pooh has become a world-famous bear, and Milnes stories have been translated into seventy-two languages.

E.H.Shepard was born in London in 1879. He was an artist, illustrator and cartoonist and went on to draw the original decorations to accompany Milnes classic stories, earning him the name the man who drew Pooh.
