I'm very pleased that my first completed book of 2020 is 'The Pooh Dictionary', a book I had not heard of until a few weeks ago when I found it on a church bookstall.

Written in the style of AA Milne's original books, this dictionary - which is more like an encyclopedia - lists all the words and phrases used by Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends, explaining them in context, with plenty of tongue-in-cheek humour.

I read it straight through, but it would also make a great book to dip into, and show more follow the chains of 'see also....'. Very enjoyable, highly recommended for anyone who recalls AA Milne's classic stories from childhood (and who probably still has the books for further reference).

This is as charming (if not more!) than reading the books themselves. Cross-referenced all to heck, it communicates the charm of the stories very well.
