About the Author

Alan Alexander Milne (1882-1956) was a playwright, an essayist, a novelist, and a short-story writer. He is best known as the creator of a series of children's books about a teddy bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Milne was also a longtime contributor and assistant editor at the British humor magazine Punch.

From AudioFile

Jim Broadbent continues his stellar interpretations of the characters he created in last year's extraordinary narration of WINNIE-THE-POOH. Broadbent's character voices are flawlessly pitched. Whiny Eeyore, bouncy Tigger, exuberant little Roo, sensible but anxious Piglet, and, most especially, the loving but fluff-brained Pooh have their last adventures together as they all come to terms with the end of life as they know it in the Hundred Acre Wood. Christopher Robin is going off to school, changing this childhood landscape forever. Matching the perfect voices created previously, Broadbent once again breathes life into Christopher Robin and his playthings. His renditions of these staples of children's literature are sure to become classics. S.G.

We listen to this (and Winnie the Pooh) all the time in the car. Everyone loves it, from the 3-year-old to the parents. Milne's subtle humor is still enjoyable after the 50th listening, and Jim Broadbent's voices perfectly suit the characters. I highly recommend this audio CD. Sometimes an actor reading the work can add so much to a story (as opposed to mom or dad reading aloud, which we also enjoy), and this is one of those times. Broadbent's Eeyore is unforgettable...

We really enjoyed this version of House at Pooh Corner. Having been "disneyfied" for so long, it took a while to get used to Jim Broadbent's Pooh being in a deep voice, but that soon passed. Milne's story still holds up after all this time and brought back pleasant memories of my youth.

The CDs are in good quality and the recording is wonderful. The packaging is very old and worn, though, and is actually broken and very sharp in some places. For now I can't let my son handle it himself because he could cut himself on it; I'm going to have to buy a new case to put the CDs in.
