Presented here are the complete stories and poems of Winnie-the-Pooh, as originally conceived and published by his creator, the legendary children’s book author A.A. Milne. Pooh and all of his friends are here: Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, Roo and, of course, Christopher Robin.
As they explore the Hundred Acre Wood, they have all sorts of adventures: tracking the Heffalump, visiting with Rabbit (and getting stuck in a Very Tight Place), dressing up as a little black rain cloud to get honey from the bees and even going on an "expotition" to the North Pole!
Along with these tales are two full collections of Milne's poems which have gone on to become some of the most beloved verses in all of children's literature. The complete Pooh collection: Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six are presented here in their original and unabridged format.

Alan Alexander Milne (1882–1956) was the son of a Scottish schoolmaster. Milne won a scholarship to Westminster School and later read mathematics at Cambridge. His real interest was in lighthearted writing; he edited the undergraduate magazine Granta and at twenty-four he became assistant editor of Punch. After serving as a signals officer in World War I he won additional acclaim as a playwright. His great success, however, came as a writer of children’s literature after publishing a series of verses about his young son Christopher Robin (When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six). Following the acclaim received for the Winnie-the-Pooh books, Milne published several novels as well as an autobiography, It’s Too Late Now (1939).
Emily Brontë (1818–1848), sister of Anne and Charlotte, published only one novel in her career, Wuthering Heights. Though she died just one year after its publication and never knew of its success, the story of doomed love and revenge went on to earn its place among the masterpieces of English literature.
