Winnie the Pooh
A first edition of AA Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh with illustrations by Ernest H Shepard
This beautiful first edition of AA Milne's classic children's book was published by Methuen & Co in 1926. The famous illustrations by Ernest Shepard are familiar to nearly everyone and deservedly much admired.
This edition has lovely dark green fine cloth boards with an appealing gilt motif of Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin on the front. The upper page edges are gilt too. The front & rear eps are illustrated with a map of the area where Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Pooh, Kanga, the Heffalumps and Christopher Robin live.
This book isn't cheap but how often do you get the chance to buy a first edition of such a classic?
