#A LOST MASTERPIECE BY A A MILNE SERIES#
As well as being the bestselling author of four novels, The Stars' Tennis Balls, Making History, The Hippopotamus, and The Liar, and the first volume of his autobiography, Moab is My Washpot, he has played Peter in Peter's Friends, Wilde in the film Wilde, Jeeves in the television series Jeeves & Wooster and Laurie in the television series Fry & Laurie. Stephen Fry is an English actor and author. Milne wrote more 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. It was Christopher's toy bear, pig, donkey, tiger, and kangaroo that became the inspiration for the famous Pooh books. Christopher Robin Milne was born in 1920. During this time he wrote three plays, all of which were produced on the London stage. He began his military service in 1915 in Europe. In 1913 he married Dorothy de Selincourt. Before long he was supporting himself on his earnings, and became an editor at Punch magazine. As a boy he wrote verses, parodies, and short humorous pieces for his school's paper. Milne was born in England in 1882, the third and youngest son of London schoolteachers. I’m getting all teary thinking about them both now so I’m going to stop there and resist the urge to listen to the song.A. Both this book and the song are wonderful about growing up and being young and carefree and friendship. Not as connected to this book in terms of story but Pooh Corner is where a lot of things happen once it has been created so it deserves a mention (plus it’s a gorgeous song and I need to mention it somewhere). I adore it to no end and I proper cry everytime I hear it. It will crush your heart and make you nostalgic and all kinds of emotional. Pooh Corner is mentioned in the famous Kenny Loggins song titled Return to Pooh Corner, and oh my goodness if you haven’t heard it you must. I think the first book outshines this a bit, or maybe people merge them into one book, but House at Pooh Corner is a grand little book in its own right and deserves to be seen as its own book, not confused and muddled in with all things Winnie the Pooh. This is a heartbreaking book in a way, Christopher Robin realises he is growing up and it makes some wonderfully moving monents that make you (me specifically), very teary and emotional. The game of Pooh Sticks is also created in one of these stories, and it includes a slightly older Christopher Robin, growing up and heading off to school. I love this book as much as the first one, the stories are beautiful and there are some wonderful important moments about friendship and kindness, and I think Eeyore is so delightful and the relationship between Pooh and Piglet really shines.
Possibly because Tigger took off with such popularity and Kanga and Roo were less notable that I thought they were later introductions. I used to think it was Kanga and Roo who were introduced in the second book but it was actually Tigger. It’s hard to imagine we may have had Winnieithe-Pooh without Tigger, perhaps it would have been another toy instead if Christopher Robin’s mother had chosen differently.
The House at Pooh Corner is important because it’s the book where Tigger is introduced. This second volume of stories contains ten chapters, each a story with an adventure of sorts that Christopher Robin and his toys go on. Published in 1928 this is the sequel to Winnie-the-Pooh.
