Ernest H. Shepard Bücher

„Nach kurzer Zeit waren alle oben im Wald versammelt, und die Expotition fing an. Zuerst kamen Christopher Robin und Kaninchen, dann Ferkel und Pu; dann Känga mit Ruh in ihrem Beutel und Eule; dann I-Ah; dann, zum Schluss, Kaninchens sämtliche Bekannten-und-Verwandten.“ Wenn man wie Pu und seine Freunde aus dem Hundertsechzig-Morgen-Wald den „Nordpohl“ entdecken will, ist es ratsam, dass zumindest einer ganz genau weiß, wie so ein Pohl aussieht. Da ist es gut, dass es Christopher Robin gibt. Der weiß dann auch, was zu tun ist, als Ferkel ein Heffalump trifft oder I-Ah seinen Schwanz verliert. Harry Rowohlts meisterhafte Übersetzung fängt den ganz besonderen Zauber dieser Geschichten auch in der deutschen Ausgabe ein.

In 1926, the world was introduced to a portly little bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Along with his young friend, Christopher Robin, Pooh delighted readers from the very beginning. His often befuddled perceptions and adorable insights won the hearts of everyone around him, including his close group of friends. From the energetic Tigger to the dismal Eeyore, A. A. Milne created a charming bunch, both entertaining and inspirational. These simple creatures often reflected a small piece of all of us: humble, silly, wise, cautious, creative, and full of life. Remember when Piglet did a very grand thing, or Eeyore's almost-forgotten birthday? Gorgeous watercolor illustrations from Ernest H. Shepard appear in all their glory. With beautiful colors and simple lines, these images hold their own as classics. The tales, filled with superb story lines and lessons, will continue to capture the hearts of new generations.

For over seventy years, children and adults have been charmed by the wit and whimsy of Winnie-the-Pooh. Whether he's using a balloon to get honey from some bees, discovering the North Pole, or trying to find breakfast for Tigger, the Bear of Little Brain always succeeds in endearing himself to his many fans.

Blackstone Audio presents, from the unabridged collection “A.A. Milne’s Pooh Classics,” the forty-four poems from When We Were Very Young and the thirty-five poems of Now We Are Six, performed by Peter Dennis. This is the only reading of these delightful verses authorized by A.A. Milne’s son, Christopher Robin. The first of A.A. Milne’s four world-famous books for children, When We Were Very Young introduced Christopher Robin to innumerable friends and has probably been read more widely than any other book of verse for children published in our time. Now We Are Six followed, becoming a modern classic in its own right. For sheer delightfulness, the children’s rhymes of A.A. Milne are in a class by themselves with their charm, humor, understanding, and irresistible rhythms.

But Pooh is a Very Clever Bear, and he and Christopher Robin set out to rescue Piglet in their boat, The Brain of Pooh.
