Publisher Description
Celebrating 100 years of one of the most beloved icons of children's literature, Winnie-the-Pooh!
Enjoy the collected stories of both Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, voiced by an amazing all-star cast, including Judi Dench, Stephen Fry, Finty Williams, and Geoffrey Palmer.
Since 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends—Piglet, Owl, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, and the ever doleful Eeyore—have endured as the unforgettable creations of A. A. Milne, who wrote two books of Pooh’s adventures for his son, Christopher Robin.
These characters and their stories are timeless treasures of childhood that continue to speak to all of us with the kind of freshness and heart that distinguishes true storytelling.

“A superb ensemble cast including Judi Dench, Stephen Fry, and Geoffrey Palmer gives full dramatic treatment to twenty stories from the world of Pooh. Fry captures the essence of the silly old bear, and Palmer is the consummate melancholic Eeyore. A splendid introduction to these classic tales for a new generation.”

About A. A. Milne
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).
