Publisher Description

Blackstone Audiobooks presents, from the unabridged collection A. A. Milne's Pooh Classics, the ten stories of Winnie-the-Pooh performed by Peter Dennis.

Come with us to an enchanted place, a forest where Winnie-the-Pooh lived with Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga, and Little Roo. The stories are about Christopher Robin and these good companions having wonderful times getting in and out of trouble. It is all very exciting and, really, quite thrilling no matter how young or old you may be.

This reading has earned the prestigious Audie Award, Parents' Choice Gold Award, Ohio State Award of Merit, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting Silver Award.

This is the only reading of these immortal 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."

"One of my friends here in Uganda has this sweater with Pooh on it that she wears all the time. But she had no idea who Pooh was. So I bought her this book when I was back in the States to give to her, and read it before handing it over (is that bad?) It was adorable, and whimsical and everything a children's novel should be. Can't wait to read it to my kids. If I ever have kids.... (PS - my friend out here loved it too!)"

    " I haven't read this since my kids were little. I enjoyed it just as much or perhaps, more! Wonderfully written. I do wonder whether modern day boys and girls would like it - I'm old enough to come from an era where colored pencils and balloons were rare and much appreciated. I'm not sure if children today would really care about such things - but still might find a favorite stuffed bear a good and trusted companion. "

    " This idyll, this whole world can not be described by a human being! Funny, thoughtful and almost delightful characters. Neat little adventures to fascinate both adults and children. It contains every aspect of a good book. Go read it, if you havent. "

    " I know this is a kids book, but I have to be honest, it's just fantastic. So much better than whoever took over the story writing from AA Milne and made the writing so incredibly over simple. Amazing find to find kids writing at such an amazing level. "

    " We read the first two in the series, but even though Gabriel was entertained by the books, he wasn't enthralled by them. He can take or leave Edward Bear aka Winnie-ther-Pooh. He does seem to like Tigger though--must be because they are both so bouncy! "

    " Christopher Robin Milne is said to have complained bitterly that his childhood was co-opted by his father, and critics decry the books for being too "precious." But for me, at 10 or 11, the pre-Disney Pooh stories and two small volumes of poetry were beyond reproach. "

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).
