Award-winning narrator and comedienne Alison Larkin brings A A Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh to a new American audience. “As a child growing up in the part of England where A A Milne lived, I knew Winnie-the-Pooh, Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, Kanga and little Roo,” says Alison Larkin. “They were friends of mine. Narrating this audiobook allowed me to return to the Hundred Acre Wood, re-live our childhood adventures and bring these wonderful stories back to America with me. What a magical journey this has been." The beloved stories about a bear of very little brain and his friends are as enchanting today as when they were first written.

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).
