"'Let's frighten the dragons,' I said to Pooh. / 'That's right,' said Pooh to Me. / 'I'm not afraid,' I said to Pooh, / And I held his paw and I shouted, 'Shoo! / Silly old dragons!'--and off they flew," says Christopher Robin in A.A. Milne's well-loved poem "Us Two." Milne (1882-1956) didn't start writing for children until 1920, when his son, the real Christopher Robin, was a year old. That's about when his wife Daphne envisioned her son's stuffed Harrods bear, tiger, pig, kangaroo, and donkey as characters in a children's book. And the rest is history! By 1924, Milne had published When We Were Very Young, a whimsical collection of verses illustrated in gentle watercolors by Ernest H. Shepard; Now We Are Six, a second collection, followed in 1927. This hefty, full-color volume brings together all of Milne's verses, unabridged. If you fondly remember "James James / Morrison Morrison / Weatherby George Dupree / Took great / Care of his Mother, / Though he was only three," from "Disobedience," or "Ernest was an elephant, a great big fellow, / Leonard was a lion with a six-foot tail, / George was a goat, and his beard was yellow, / And James was a very small snail," from "The Four Friends," this fabulous collection will send you into a dreamy reverie. And for those young readers to whom Pooh is new, these innocent, gently humorous, 70-year-old poems--along with The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh--will still resonate deeply.

Product Description
When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six, which brought A. A. Milne fame as a children's book author and introduced the world to Winnie-the-Pooh, are paired for the first time in one deluxe, full-color gift edition. The perfect companion volume to The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh, though more than worthy in its own right, this book offers the complete collection of delightful verses and fanciful rhymes of A. A. Milne's two classic volumes of poetry, which have been read and reread to generations of children. Inspired by the author's young son, Christopher Robin, and featuring, of course, his great friend Winnie-the-Pooh, Milne's poems are timeless celebrations of childhood. They offer readers a magical world where reality and imagination intertwine--a world perfectly rendered in Ernest H. Shepard's enchanting illustrations. The Complete Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh is sure to find an honored place on every family's bookshelf.
