Story Summary This delightful standalone edition contains the complete Chapter 10 from A.A. Milne's classic Winnie-the-Pooh: "In which Christopher Robin Gives a Pooh Party, and We Say Good-bye." Christopher Robin organises a special party to honour Pooh for bravely rescuing Piglet from the flood using his "Floating Bear" and "Brain of Pooh." Expect Eeyore's gloom, Owl's pomposity, Roo's excitement, Pooh's anxious song, and the presentation of a very special pencil case - all wrapped in gentle humour and heart-warming friendship. Perfect for reading aloud to young children or as a nostalgic collectible for Pooh fans. Author: A.A. Milne (1882-1956) Alan Alexander Milne was an English writer, playwright, and poet best known for his children's books featuring Winnie-the-Pooh. Born in London, Milne studied at Cambridge and worked as an assistant editor at the famous humour magazine Punch. He served in World War I before achieving success with light verse, plays, and novels. His greatest fame came from the Pooh stories, inspired by his son Christopher Robin Milne and his son's stuffed toys. The books Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928), along with poetry collections When We Were Very Young (1924) and Now We Are Six (1927), have enchanted generations worldwide. Though Milne wrote for adults too, the gentle, whimsical world of the Hundred Acre Wood remains his enduring legacy. Illustrator: E.H. Shepard (1879-1976) Ernest Howard Shepard, OBE, MC, was a British artist and book illustrator whose pen-and-ink drawings perfectly captured the charm of Milne's characters. Nicknamed "Kip," Shepard studied at the Royal Academy Schools and worked as a cartoonist for Punch. His collaboration with Milne produced the iconic depictions of Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin, and the rest of the gang, based on real toys and the Ashdown Forest landscape. Shepard also famously illustrated Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows. His warm, expressive line work has defined the visual world of Pooh for nearly a century. Original Shepard illustrations from the Pooh books are highly prized; one map of the Hundred Acre Wood sold for a record sum. Edition Notes This is a scarce-to-find-in-nice-condition early Magnet "Piglet paperback" - part of a popular series of individual Pooh stories issued for younger readers in the early 1980s. The vibrant orange-red cover features Shepard's classic group illustration (Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, etc.), with additional charming drawings throughout.

Personal Easter 1982 inscription - a lovely time-capsule touch. Shepard's timeless artwork in its original context.
