5.0 out of 5 stars Among the formative books of my very English childhood., 18 Feb 1998

By A Customer

When I was very small, I was read The House at Pooh Corner, Winnie the Pooh, When We Were Very Small and Now We Are Six by two very old-fashioned aunts who clearly enjoyed them as much as I did. I grew to worship Rabbit and his dry humour, helped by my aunts' similarly subtle and rather understated sense of the ridiculous. Returning to the books as a father some thirty-five years later, I find they're still fresh. While I don't like to suggest that Disney gets it wrong, I should hate for children to get their only notions of the world of Christopher Robin and his toys from the film(s). The books are of a time and a place; 1920's/30's England. Their words were written to be heard or read with an idea of context (cf the audio tapes read by Alan Bennett) With this in mind, it is possible for these books to have a universal appeal. My five-year-old daughter cannot quite get all the, remarkably sophisticated, nuances of A.A. Milne's humour and language, but she laughs in most of the right places just because she enjoys the stories. She keeps on wanting to hear more, and that's strong testimony - and I still find Winnie the Pooh an absolute hoot in places.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wiinnie the Pooh is for children and adults!!, 26 Nov 1998

By A Customer

I didn't meet Winnie the Pooh until I had children of my own. I enjoyed reading the tales and the poems to my four. My sister and I used to talk to each other in "poohese." To illustrate that these books are for adults, also, when my eldest left home she requested "A Pooh Reading" the last night. She also took the books with her to college and read them after some of the "heavy" required reading she had to do. Now that she is in her forties, she takes the books with her and uses them to teach English -- and to relax after busy days. In fact, I think adults enjoy the books even more than children. Adults understand how true to life the stories are! Especially if their introduction was correct! (Hearing them read by an excellent reader makes all the difference! I feel sorry for anyone who has missed that!) And when I was a Weight Watcher lecturer, I used "Chapter 2 In Which Pooh Goes Visiting and Gets into a Tight Place." It fits very well! Don't discontinue Pooh just because you are "Grown up!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Splendiferous!, 20 Sep 1998

By A Customer

This book is, by far, the most wonderful book I have ever read. I'm writing my college essay on it. Pooh and company successfully manage to be funny and uplifting, and at the same time teach us valuable life lessons. This is a book for all ages and I highly recommend that everyone, everywhere, every age read it.
