1928 1st/1st Winnie the Pooh House at Pooh Corner Milne & Shepard Illustrated



“Some people care too much. I think its called love.”

― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh



Shortly after the successes of When We Were Very Young, Milne planned his second book for children, this is evidenced by a letter he wrote to his brother stating that it would “appear in 1927 or 1928.” (Thwaite, 293). The following year Milne introduced another pivotal character to the Hundred Acre Wood – Tigger! Tigger finds his place in “House at Pooh Corner” alongside Pooh and friends.
