About This Item
London: Methuen, 1992. Fine/NrF. First Edition, First Printing in d/w not price clipped. Profusely illustrated in colour and black-and-white. Pooh's story begins with the birth of his creator, A A Milne. Already a highly successful dramatist and novelist, he began, at a wet house-party in Wales in 1923, to write poetry for children purely as a diversion. The publication of a collection of his verse - 'When We Were Very Young' - in 1924, illustrated by E H Shepherd, was an instant success, marking the beginning of an exceptional association and launching Pooh's brilliant career. A fascinating book which covers the life of Milne and the children's books, ephemera, pottery, stuffed toys, and more, which resulted from the popular bear. With Index. D/w has a short edge tear (7mm long) at base of front fold flap; else a fine copy of a first edition, first printing SCARCE in this condition. D/w now protected in a detachable, non-adhesive, clear sheaf. NO inscriptions, underlining or highlighting.. First Edition, First Printing. Hardback. Fine/Near Fine.
