The Pooh Story Book (1965) is a charming compilation of A.A. Milne’s beloved Winnie-the-Pooh tales, featuring the original illustrations by E.H. Shepard that have become inseparable from the Hundred Acre Wood’s magic. This collection brings together stories of Pooh’s whimsical adventures—from honey-seeking mishaps to expeditions with Piglet, Eeyore’s gloomy wisdom, and Christopher Robin’s quiet leadership. Milne’s gentle humor and Shepard’s delicate, expressive line drawings create a timeless world where childhood imagination and subtle wit intertwine.

Published by Dutton Children’s Books, this mid-century edition preserves the warmth and nostalgia of Milne’s 1920s classics (Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner), making it a treasure for both new readers and collectors. Shepard’s illustrations, though deceptively simple, capture the essence of each character with enduring affection, ensuring Pooh’s legacy as one of literature’s most endearing bears.
