A. A. MILNE'S
Four Nursery Classics
Illustrated by E. H. SHEPARD
7s. 6d. net each
WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG
703rd thousand
"It is a book that all children will adore. It is a book that mothers and nurses will laugh and cry over. It is a — classic!" — James Douglas in the Sunday Express.
WINNIE-THE-POOH
573rd thousand
The adventures in the forest of Christopher Robin's Teddy Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh with his companions of the nursery; together with some of the poems which the Pooh Bear made up and sang to himself as he went along.
NOW WE ARE SIX
490th thousand
Another book of verses to and for, by, with and from Christopher Robin, who is a little older now. Ernest H. Shepard, who is, if anything, slightly younger, continues to draw as delight- fully as he ever did. Winnie-the-Pooh, perhaps an inch more round the waist, makes an occa- sional appearance.
THE HOUSE AT POOH CORNER
52 1st thousand
Once more, and for the last time, the reader meets Christopher Robin and his friends in the forest. Pooh and Piglet, Kanga and Roo, Owl, Eeyore and Rabbit are all here as before but they are now joined by the Strange and Bouncy Tigger.
