‘I often wish I were a King, And then I could do anything.
If only I were King of Spain, I’d take my hat off in the rain.
If I were King of Norroway, I’d ask an elephant to stay.
If I were King of Timbuctoo, I’d think of lovely things to do.’
Two bright sharp early editions of the first two books to feature WInnie-the-Pooh. When We Were Very Young, in which Winnie-the-Pooh makes his first appearance in the Teddy Bear, poem – 'A bear, however hard he tries, Grows tubby without exercise' together with Milne’s most famous children’s story WInnie-the-Pooh.
