Overview
"But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever. So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever."
This gorgeous clothbound edition of A. A. Milne's children's poetry brings his two celebrated collections together in one volume: When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six.
Milne's charming poems have been cherished by readers young and old since they were first published. These collections feature appearances from iconic characters Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin and were inspired by Milne's own experiences of watching his young son Christopher at play. Whimsical and joyful, they wonderfully capture the imaginative world of early childhood.
Brought to life by the vibrant original illustrations of young artist Lauren Hubbert, these timeless poems can now be treasured by a new generation.
