first edition
1926
by Milne, A.A.
1926. With Decorations by Ernest H. Shepard. London: Methuen & Co., (1926). Original green cloth pictorially decorated in gilt.
First Edition of Milne's classic, featuring Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Owl and of course Pooh and Christopher Robin. Included are some of the best-known tales, such as "Pooh goes visiting and gets into a tight place," "Eeyore loses a tail and Pooh finds one" and "Piglet meets a heffalump." This was the second (and best-known) of the four Milne/Shepard collaborations, published two years after the vastly successful volume of verse WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG. This copy is in near-fine condition (very slight rubbing at the extremities, a couple of early signatures at the top of the cartographic front endpaper) -- albeit without dustjacket. NCBEL IV 671. (Inventory #: 15636)
