When We Were Very Young (Classic Editions HB)

Author(s): A. A. Milne

Kids Classics

When We Were Very Young is A. A. Milne's 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. Shepard's original illustrations, When We Were Very Young 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 Milne's bestselling books about Winnie-the-Pooh, that Bear of Very Little Brain. This beautiful new edition, re-designed for Pooh's 90th anniversary is highly collectable and will appeal to Pooh fans old and new.


Product Information

A.A. Milne is quite simply one of the most famous children's authors of all time. He created Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga and Roo based on the real nursery toys played with by his son, Christopher Robin. And those characters not only became the stars of his classic children's books, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, and his poetry for children, they have also been adapted for film, TV and the stage. Through his writings for Punch magazine, A.A. Milne met E.H. Shepard. Shepard went on to draw the original illustrations to accompany Milne's classics, earning him the name "the man who drew Pooh".
