Critics Review
‘There is something about Pooh, when you meet him in childhood, that drops a small seed into your subconscious that remains lifelong.’, Dr Pam Jarvis, Yorkshire Bylines
‘There is no bigger joy than when our beloved childhood books continue to teach us about life even in adulthood.’, Dr Valentina Stoycheva Ph.D., Psychology Today
‘I have long considered Winnie the Pooh to be one of my favourite philosophers. However, as a clinician deeply steeped in the field of trauma recovery, I have begun to think that his creator A.A.Milne may also be one of my favourite psychologists.’, Dr Valentina Stoycheva Ph.D., Psychology Today
‘Taken together, all the animals also make a creative and collaborative bunch, one capable of chasing great adventures and tackling great challenges with laughter, camaraderie, and compassion.’, Dr Valentina Stoycheva Ph.D., Psychology Today
Reviews about Winnie-the-Pooh:
‘Winnie-the-Pooh has always been a very special (albeit funny old) bear, not least of all because his books are filled with wonderful words of wisdom.‘, Stylist magazine
‘Winnie-the-Pooh is packed full of timeless wisdom and words that will resonate with you whatever your age.’, The Independent
‘With a rich storytelling heritage, the adventures of Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood represent friendship, simple joys and the curious and gentle nature of a child’s imagination.’, Vintage Explorer
Steve Hogarty said about Winnie-the-Pooh: The Complete Collection of Stories and Poems: ‘Lovingly illustrated by E.H.Shepard, the stories of Pooh and his pals are sure to delight little readers and even younger listeners, as they did me.’, The Independent

E.H. Shepard
Alan Alexander Milne was born in London in 1882 and became a successful playwright and poet. He based Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, and their friends on the real nursery toys of his son, Christopher Robin, and published the first of their adventures in 1926. Since then, Pooh has become a world-famous bear, and Milne’s stories have been translated into sixty-two languages.
