Books with author A. A. Milne | Decorations by Ernest H. Shepard

Happy 80th birthday, Pooh! The Bear of Very Little Brain and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood have delighted generations of readers since Winnie-the-Pooh was first published in 1926. This deluxe anniversary edition of Winnie-the-Pooh is the perfect way to celebrate the enduring popularity of A. A. Milne’s classic work. The interior features the unabridged text and Ernest H. Shepard’s charming illustrations in full color on cream-colored stock. The specially designed jacket sports gold ink and a die-cut window that reveals the full-color art on the case cover. It is an impressive package for new fans and collectors both. Three cheers for Pooh!

Good, plus a bit. See scans and description. New York: E.P. Dutton, 1950. The House at Pooh Corner, by A.A. Milne, the Dutton 1950 Re-set edition, with a small piece of laid-in period ephemera. Illustrated in black and white internally, in full color on the wraparound jacket, by Ernest H. Shepard190 pp. 12mo, illustrated jacket, light blue cloth boards with maroon and black imprinting and decoration, illustrated endpapers, (xi + 1 + 178). Very Good jacket with small-scale tatter at spine ends and corners (see scans), on a book which is just Good, due to notable fade mottling on both covers from an unknown source (see scans). This precludes a very good grade. No internal writing, and no other salient flaws to the bright, tight book. Laid-in is a piece of period ephemera (scan), which appears to be part of a larger set of unknown nature. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. L202
