A fine first edition in a fine and thus rare example of the original dust jacket. A.A. Milne’s most famous children’s story, set around Milne’s home near ‘100 Aker Wood’ in Ashdown Forest, East Sussex. Winnie was the name of the Canadian Black Bear at London Zoo, befriended by Christopher Robin, and originally the Mascot of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade. The Pooh is believed to have come from the name of a royal swan in the park and the two combined by Christopher Robin himself.  More Details
