Description

A deluxe two-book set of A.A. Milne’s classic stories about Winnie-the-Pooh in beautiful collectible edition formats. The perfect gift for any occasion and an essential part of every family’s bookshelf.

For almost a century, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends—Piglet, Owl, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, and the ever doleful Eeyore—have endured as the unforgettable creations of A. A. Milne, who wrote two books of Pooh’s adventures for his son, Christopher Robin, and Ernest H. Shepard, who lovingly gave them shape through his iconic and beautiful illustrations. These characters and their stories are timeless treasures of childhood that continue to speak to all of us with the kind of freshness and heart that distinguishes true storytelling.

This deluxe two-book set includes the classic gift editions of Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. Each title is artfully crafted in the style of the American first editions, with gold foil stamping and illustrated endpapers.

The perfect gift for holiday, to welcome a new baby, or for your favorite collector and book lover.
