When I first heard his name I said, just as you are going' to say, 'But I thought he was a boy!' 'So did I,' said, Christopher Robin. (Then you can't call him Winnie.?' I don't . . . He's Winnie-ther-pooh. Don't you know what ther means? Ah yes, now I do,' I said quickly; and I hope you do too, because it is all the explanation you are going to get.'' Thus begins the tale of the amazing adventures of Christopher Robin's favorite Big" Bear and of the charming Christopher.

The tales which follow are all related. in Milne's delightful prose and still more delectable verse and will be welcomed by the thousands, both young and old, who have learned to love "When We Were Very Young'."
