Publisher Description
"When We Were Very Young" is a book of poetry for children by the legendary British author A.A. Milne and marks the first appearance of the "silly old bear" who would soon become a worldwide sensation: Winnie-the-Pooh.
In these poems, the narrator - a young boy named Christopher Robin (after Milne's own son) - navigates the world of adolescence, imagining kings and queens, questing knights, talking bears, imaginary friends and explores the curiosity and wonder of the grown-up world seen through the eyes of a child.
"When We Were Very Young" - the first book of the Winnie-the-Pooh series - was an immediate hit when it was first published in 1924 and spawned the next three Pooh books: Winnie-the-Pooh, Now We Are Six and The House at Pooh Corner. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

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).
About Kevin Theis
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.
