Pooh's Library - Boxed Set

by A. A. Milne (Author), Ernest H. Shepard (Illustrator)

Celebrating 100 years of one of the most beloved icons of children's literature, Winnie-the-Pooh!

Since 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends--Piglet, Owl, Tigger, and the ever doleful Eeyore--have endured as the unforgettable creations of A.A. Milne, who wrote this book for his son, Christopher Robin, and Ernest H. Shepard, who lovingly gave Pooh and his companions shape.

This box set contains four hardcover books: the two original Pooh novels, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, and Milne's two poetry collections, Now We Are Six and When We Were Very Young, which features the very first appearance of Pooh.
