Milne’s inimitable characters delightfully represented in E.H. Shepard’s celebrated illustrations, have frolicked through two classics of childhood: Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner.Now these books are here presented in one never-to-be-forgotten volume, and to make this a truly memorable occasion, Mr. Shepard has added a whole new series of pictures in colour to the familiar black and white drawings. To see Pooh and his friends, the forest and their homes in colour is a pleasure that no one is too young or too old to enjoy.“Silly old bear,” “the best bear in the world” —here comes Pooh walking through the forest, humming to himself.Let us all join him in the song:Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear!Sing Ho! for a Pooh!L
