"What can I say? The complete tales of A Bear with Very Little Brain and a Very Big Heart in one volume with the original E.H. Shepard illustrations? Absolutely lovely. We can learn so much from Pooh about the purity of love and friendship, and we can learn so much about A.A. Milne from the stories and from his adorable dedications of each book to his wife. A great set of stories to contemplate from childhood to maturity, and the poems are wonderful to read out loud. Even if there are no children around."

    " I absolutely adore the stories of Winnie-The-Pooh. The characters in the story are so whimsical and filled with joy, well except Eeyore. In one particular tale in the book Pooh finds himself stuck in the air while holding tight to a balloon, while being attacked by buzzing bees, while trying to get to honey. This is a prime example of the many silly; yet, interesting stories that take place in the book. "

    " I absolutely love the series. Like as in, all of these books. They are just so darn interesting. The classic ones are of course better than the new ones by Disney. "

    " I love the sense of humor and thoroughly enjoyed this book... excepting some of the characters which I actually found to be annoying, especially Eeyore. Disney greatly improved him... in the book he just strikes me as annoying rather than sympathetic!! Pooh and Piglet are my favorites... Christopher Robin's simplicity struck me as being TOO simplistic at times, but I suppose that is the point of his character. All in all though, very good! "

    " A delightful collection of stories that will entertain all ages. The main characters of Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and Christopher Robin are unique, consistent, and memorable. Our family has also enjoyed listening to audio recordings of the stories, and we each have our favourite chapters and characters. "

    " A must have for serious fans of A.A.Milne and Winnie the Pooh. Includes all the original stories, the original illustrations by Ernest Shepherd (not the modern Disney garbage) and plenty of Milne's poems. If I could only own a few books, this would be on my list. "

About O. Henry

O. Henry (1862–1910), born William Sydney Porter in Greensboro, North Carolina, was a short-story writer whose tales romanticized the commonplace, in particular, the lives of ordinary people in New York City. His stories often had surprise endings, a device that became identified with his name. He began writing sketches around 1887, and his stories of adventure in the Southwest United States and in Central America were immediately popular with magazine readers.
