When We Were Very Young and
Now We Are Six complete the four-volume set of deluxe editions of the Milne and Shepard classic works. Like their companions, the
Winnie-the-Pooh 80th Anniversary Edition and
The House At Pooh Corner, these beautiful books feature full-color artwork on cream-colored stock. The imaginative charm that has made Pooh the world’s most famous bear pervades the pages of Milne’s poetry, and Ernest H. Shepard’s witty and loving illustrations enhance these truly delightful gift editions.
