This is a precious set of 4 tiny Pooh books (Pooh Hears a Buzzing Noise; Pooh Goes Visiting; Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting; Eeyore Loses a Tail), 2 1/5 X 3 3/4 inches, in a small paper box decorated with E. H. Shepard illustration. Though the books are small, the Shepard illustrations and printing are regular-sized, making them diminutive but not annoyingly so. I have had mine since Christmas 1977 and they are still in the little box, and though the box and books show signs of wear, this is a treasured family memento.
[1st ed.] 4 volumes in a case, (100 mm) New York, Dutton, [1968] Title from case. CONTENTS: [1] Pooh hears a buzzing noise and meets some bees. [2] Pooh goes visiting and gets into a tight place. [3] Pooh and Piglet go hunting and nearly catch a Woozle. [4] Eeyore loses a tail and Pooh finds one.

A prolific writer, A. A. Milne published 35 plays, 6 novels, 3 books of verse, 3 collections of short stories, and several works of nonfiction, including sketches for Punch magazine, of which he was the assistant editor. Nevertheless, his fame rests on four books for children: two of whimsical stories about the stuffed animals in his son's bedroom show more (Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner) and two of verse (When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six). All are considered classics and have been included among the Children's Literature Association's Touchstone books as the best in children's literature, on the Lewis Carroll Shelf list, and on the Choice magazine list of books for the academic library. He also wrote Toad of Toad Hall, a play based on Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, and Once upon a Time: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, both of which are sometimes included in volumes with the four classic works. Milne had a son, Christopher Robin, who served as the model for the little boy in his children's books. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
