About This Item
London: Methuen, 1926. A first edition, first printing published by Methuen in 1926 - illustrations by E.H. Shepard, map endpapers, original publisher's green pictorial cloth gilt, t.e.g., dust jacket with '7/6 Net' to spine and '117th Thousand' at the head of the rear flap. A fine book without inscriptions - the usual off-setting to the endpapers. Spine tips a little pushed. In a fine first issue dust wrapper with some miniscule pushing to the spine tips and corners. A magnificently crisp, fine example of this fragile dust wrapper
Synopsis
The silly, sweet-hearted bear, Winnie and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood, have delighted generations of readers since Winnie-The-Pooh was first published in 1926. The story was inspired by the author, A.A. Milne’s own son, Christopher Robins, and his many furry friends. The tale follows the many adventures of Winnie and his friends, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga, Christopher Robin, and many more. He calls himself a Bear of Very Little Brain, yet he shows faithfully that he is a wise and loving creature, furthermore a whimsical philosopher who is rather fond of honey. Three cheers for Pooh!
