    Celebrating 100 years of one of the most beloved icons of children's literature, Winnie-the-Pooh!

    A. A. Milne's beloved poetry collections—When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six—are now available as part of the Classic Gift Edition line! Discover the first of A. A. Milne's classic books for young readers with a gorgeous, collectible edition of When We Were Very Young, a book of verse.

    Published two years before Winnie-the-Pooh, When We Were Very Young is the first of A. A. Milne's delightful verse collections. A celebration of childhood, these poems have been read and re-read for generations, touching the hearts of children and their families for a century. Milne's treasured poems are perfectly matched by Ernest Shepard's whimsical illustrations.

    Artfully crafted in the style of the first American edition of When We Were Very Young, published in 1924 by E. P. Dutton, this elegant edition is the perfect gift for both new readers and passionate collectors.
    A. A. Milne (1882-1956) was born in England. He studied at Cambridge but left school in 1903 to write, soon supporting himself on his earnings as an editor at Punch magazine and as a playwright. His son Christopher Robin Milne was born in 1920. Christopher's toy bear, pig, donkey, tiger, and kangaroo inspired the famous Pooh books. Milne also wrote plays, a novel, his autobiography, and political nonfiction, although he is best remembered for Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young, and Now We Are Six.

    Ernest H. Shepard (1879-1976) was born in England. Shepard won a scholarship to the Royal Academy Schools, and, after graduating, supported himself by drawing for illustrated papers and books. He became a regular contributor to Punch magazine, where he met A. A. Milne. While working together, Shepard agreed to do the illustrations for Milne's first book of verse, When We Were Very Young. Shepard’s witty and loving illustrations of Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood have become an inseparable part of the Pooh stories, and they have become classics in their own right.
