Description
"Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too" by Walt Disney, fully illustrated, published by Random House, New York, 1975; copyright 1975 by Walt Disney Production; published by permission of E.P. Dutton.
Hard boards, original pictorial cloth (some soiling & edge wear: see photos]; 6.3/4" x 9.1/2"; the endpapers are color maps; 41 pages, very good condition.
Alan Alexander Milne (1882-1956) was a noted English writer, primarily a playwright, before the huge success of Winnie the Pooh overshadowed all his previous work. Milne served in both World Wars, joining the British Army in World War I, and as a captain of the British Home Guard in World War II. He is the father of bookseller Christopher Robin Milne, upon whom the character Christopher Robin is based.
When Christopher Robin was a year old, he was given a stuffed bear from Harrods, and later a tiger, pig, and a donkey. The idea of bringing these toys to life in a children's book is credited to Daphne Milne. In 1924, A.A. Milne had published "When We Were Very Young," a collection of verses, which had met with great success on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1926, "Winnie-the-Pooh" was released, promptly establishing Milne as a major author of children's books. "Now We Are Six," a second collection of verses, followed in 1927. In 1928 came "The House at Pooh Corner." All four were illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard, who visited the Milne's at Cotchford Farm and based his drawings on Christopher Robin and his toys."
