Bound in a stunning gold-foiled slipcase, relive all your favourite moments in the Hundred Acre Wood, brought stunningly to life with the iconic decorations by E.H.Shepard, which have been reproduced to echo the original vivid artwork.
The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for 100 years. Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.
