When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six

More about the book

In the enchanting world of Christopher Robin, childhood is filled with joy and imagination. Here, Christopher Robin and Alice observe the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, while young James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupree looks after his mother at just three years old. This timeless realm features a busy Little Black Hen that only lays eggs for Christopher Robin, and three playful foxes who keep their handkerchiefs in cardboard boxes. The King humorously requests butter for his royal bread, and at the end of the day, a little boy kneels at his bedside, whispering his prayers. This irresistible collection brings together two cherished volumes of verses written by A. A. Milne for his son, which have delighted readers of all ages. Accompanying the text are endpapers and eight full-color illustrations by Ernest Shepard, whose beloved black-and-white drawings have captivated millions. Notably, Pooh, the beloved bear, makes his appearance, reminding us that he is always part of Christopher Robin's adventures. As Christopher Robin says, "Wherever I am, there's always Pooh, There's always Pooh and Me."
