First editions of each work in Milne's wonderful Pooh quartet. Octavo, original cloth decorated in gilt, pictorial endpapers, top edge gilt. Illustrated by Ernest Shepard. Each book is fine in a very good dust jacket with some loss and wear to the crown and foot of the spine, as is typically seen. Housed in a custom slipcase. Small ownership name to When We Were Very Young, bookplate to The House At Pooh Corner. âAlthough Alan Alexander Milne wrote novels, short stories, poetry and many plays for adults, in addition to his work as assistant editor for Punch from 1906 to 1914, it is his writings for children that have captured the hearts of millions of people worldwide and granted Milne everlasting fameâ (Silvey, 461). Milne wrote most of these poems at the request of friend and fellow poet Rose Fyleman, who was planning a new childrenâs magazine. âOn a rain-blighted holiday in Wales, [Milne] escaped from the crowd of fellow guests to the summerhouse, and for 11 days wrote a set of childrenâs verses, one each day⦠âThere on the other side of the lawn was a child with whom I had lived for three years [his son, Christopher Robin]⦠and here within me were unforgettable memories of my own childhood.â He added more verses when he got home, enough for a book, and allowed some to be published in advance in Punchâ (Carpenter & Prichard, 351). Shepard, a Punch staff artist at the time, provided delightful line vignettes, resulting in âa wonderful marriage of verse and vision. His delicately precise and fresh drawings had an instant appealâ (DNB). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 124859
