Decorations by Ernest H. Shepard. The Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh: Winnie-the-Pooh, The House At Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young, Now We Are Six. Since their publication some seventy years ago, A.A. Milne's enchanting tales and playful verses have been treasured and adored by generations of children. When We Were Very Young, Milne's first book of poetry for children, appeared in 1924, followed in 1926 by Winnie-the-Pooh, a collection of stories about a slightly rotund Bear of Very Little Brain. These delightful poems and tales - starring Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin, and the others - were an immediate success and firmly, established Milne, already a notable dramatist, as a major author of children's books. Another volume of poetry, Now We Are Six, was published in 1927. In 1928, a second collection of stories, The House At Pooh Corner, continued the adventures of the Hundred Acre Wood and introduced the lovable, bouncy Tigger. Ernest H. Shepard's whimsical illustrations were based on real toys owned by Milne's son, Christopher Robin. The artist visited Cotchford Farm, the Milne country home in Sussex, where he sketched the child, the stuffed animals, and the surrounding countryside. The tales and poems of Winnie-the-Pooh are as popular today as when they were first created. Winnie-the-Pooh has appeared in twenty-one languages, including Hebrew, Afrikaans, Esperanto, and Latin. This special volume brings together all of the Pooh stories and all of the poems in one full-color, large-format book. The texts are complete and unabridged, and each of the original illustrations has been brilliantly recolored. Here are the beloved stories of Pooh stuck in Rabbit's doorway, playing Poohsticks on the bridge, an the oft-read poems, "Buckingham Palace," "Us Two," and so many more. Elegant yet simple, whimsical yet wise, this classic edition is sure to find a cherished place on every bookshelf.

The life of Edgar Allan Poe was characterized by a dramatic series of successes and failures, breakdowns and recoveries, personal gains and dashed hopes, despite which he created some of the finest literature the world has ever known. Poe perfected the psychological thriller, invented the detective story, and rarely missed transporting the reader to his own supernatural realm. Here, fans may indulge in all 73 of Poe's most imaginative short-stories, including:''The Fall of the House of Usher,'' ''The Murders in the Rue Morgue,'' ''The Tell-Tale Heart,'' ''Ligeia'' and ''Ms. In a Bottle.'' All of his 48 poetic masterpieces are also here, including ''The Raven,'' ''Ulalume'' ''Annabel Lee,'' and ''Tamerlane,'' as well as select reviews and narratives.
