Publisher Description

Blackstone Audio presents, from the unabridged collection “A. A. Milne’s Pooh Classics,” the ten stories of The House At Pooh Corner, performed by Peter Dennis.

In A. A. Milne’s wonderful companion volume to Winnie-the-Pooh, you will rediscover Pooh, Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore, and all their friends—and be introduced to the irrepressible and very bouncy Tigger.

As you begin to listen to this beloved book of A. A. Milne’s simple and timeless tales, you’ll enter that enchanted place on the top of the Forest where “a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.”

This is the only reading of these enthralling stories authorized by A. A. Milne’s son, Christopher Robin, who wrote, “Peter Dennis has made himself Pooh’s Ambassador Extraordinary and no bear has ever had a more devoted friend. So if you want to meet the real Pooh, the bear I knew, the bear my father wrote about, listen to Peter.”

"Ahh the feeling of being young and having adventures just outside your backyard. The feeling that everything is yours and open. Alan Alexander Milne has a way of making childhood feel safe and heartbreaking. Pooh and his friends bring a smile to my face and an ache to my heart because in the end you must say goodbye to childhood and hello to the world of possibilities outside your imagination. But, there is a strong and comforting knowledge with childhood endings, you can always look back and remember the feeling of everything be kind and fun and yours, because, although you may forget childhood it never forgets you."

    " I read this book aloud to my seven-year-old daughter, and I had never read any Winnie the Pooh aside from board books, which are really just bits and pieces. This was wonderful! I loved it, and I cannot wait to find more. I think this was the second, and I know a sort of sequel was recently published, though not by the same author, of course. I did read a favorable review of it, so I may try it after I find the original Winnie the Pooh. "

    " It doesn't matter how old you are, the stories of the Bear-with-little-brain and his friends are endearing to all ages. What was surprising to me was the heart breaking ending that can be interpreted in a lot of ways, but to me was all bout leaving the Hundred Acre Wood behind for good because growing up is inevitable. I thought it was the saddest thing I ever read. "

    " I just finished reading this to my (nearly eight-year-old) daughter last night, and I was struck by how much these books have to offer grown-ups that wasn't accessible to me as a kid. It's a heartbreaking little book, without the cutesy quality of the umpteen animated adaptations. "

    " Without having read these as a child, these are really hard to read aloud unprepared. Nonetheless, Pooh's constant concern over his stomach and the various idiosyncrasies of each character make them endearing. I wonder how much Calvin & Hobbes was drawn from these concepts? "

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).
