Once On a Time is a fairytale written by A.A. Milne, the author of the Winnie-the-Pooh books. Written in 1917 (before he wrote Winnie-the-Pooh), the book tells of the war between the kingdoms of Euralia and Barodia and the political shenanigans which take place in Euralia in the king's absence, all supposedly rewritten by Milne from the writings of the fictional historian "Roger Scurvilegs". The book includes over 60 illustrations by Charles Robinson, who also illustrated Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1907), Grimm's Fairy Tales (1910), and Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden (1911). These illustrations have been carefully restored and formatted for your ereader by Eltanin Publishing.
