Winnie-the-Pooh that Bear of Very Little Brain. Milne and Shepard had a unique working
relationship for their time in that they closely collaborated on the design of the storybooks

resulting in the gorgeous books we all know and love. The nation's favourite teddy bear has

literary heritage. Whether you're 5 or 55 Pooh is the bear for all ages. Do you own all the

Tales from the Forest Winter in the Wood Some retro reviews of the original publication in the
1920s: "I prophesy that Mr. Milne's latest book of verses 'Now We Are Six ' will appeal to
grown-ups as much as to the public for whom it is primarily intended." The Daily Express 10th
November 1927 "When Mr. Milne began four years ago to write verses for his small son and
through 'Punch' had the good fortune to have them illustrated by Mr. E. H. Shepard he little
realised that within a few months five continents would be clamouring for the adventures of
'Christopher Robin' and his pets." Sunday Express 21st October 1928
