From the introduction: “ You will find here a collection of verses and stories, mostly about a little boy called Christopher Robin…I began to write the first book when Christopher Robin was three years old, and I finished writing the last one when he was just eight, so you mustn't expect him always to seem the same age as you read…The funny thing is that Pooh doesn’t like being called a Teddy Bear now, and if anybody says to Christopher Robin, ‘Is that your T___y B__r?’ Christopher Robin says very coldly, ‘No, it’s Pooh,’ and then Pooh and he go off whispering together.”
Condition: Good with no dust jacket. Spine is a little sunned. Light foxing to endpapers. Light wear to spine tips and edges, and corners.
