When We Were Very Young
A. A. Milne, Ernest H. Shephard
Hardcover
(E.P. Dutton & CO, INC., Sept. 3, 1958)
When We Were Very Young is the first of A. A. Milne's four world-famous books for children. Introducing Christopher Robin to innumerable friends, When We Were Very Young has probably been read more widely than any other book of children's verse published in out time. For sheer delightfulness the children's rhymes of A. A. Milne are in a class by themselves, with their charm, humor, and understanding-to say nothing of their irresistible rhythms. Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations are an important complement to the verses. A. A. Milne has here created a book of classic quality that goes straight to the heart.
