Pooh Library original 4-volume set (Pooh Original Edition) Review

This is the same collection, right down to the green case, that I bought for my son some 30 plus years ago, when he "was very young". For anyone who read these books to their children, and for any of the "grown up children" that still remember them, these wonderful stories of childhood in a more innocent time are very special. I don't think it matters if "we are six" or if "we are sixty", this is literature that ANYone can read at any age and still enjoy. What a beautiful escape from the stresses of our every day grown-up world!I intend to purchase this set again for my own library, of which there are many other "childrens'" books that I still love to open and read.

Pooh Library original 4-volume set (Pooh Original Edition) Overview
Stop everything! If at least one copy of each of these classics is not in a prominent place on your bookshelf, your home and your progeny's childhood is incomplete. Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends--blustery old Owl, bouncy Tigger, clever Christopher Robin, glum Eeyore, and the rest--have been a staple of children's literature for over 70 years in A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. And Milne's immortal collections of children's verse, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six, have soothed many a savage beast at bedtime with such incomparable delights as "If I Were King" and "Us Two." All four of these classics, complete with Ernest H. Shepard's original illustrations, are gathered here in a handsome boxed set. These hardcover editions will most certainly be a cherished legacy to be handed down for generations to come. After all, as Rabbit says solemnly one day, "Without Pooh, the adventure would be impossible." (Ages 3 to 103) --Emilie Coulter

At last, no Disney here! - RoundHouseJim -
The "original" books by A.A. Milne, here presented, are not as "thick" as the ones I remember from my pre-school years, but maybe that's just me. The contents are, to the best of my memory, accurate, and happily, free of the "Disnification" imposed on the stories in recent years. In general, a worthwhile addition to the libraries of the "very young."
Pooh still delights, after all these years! - timetraveler -
This original set of A.A. Milne's classic Pooh series was the perfect addition to the library we are building for our grandchildren. The simple pen and ink drawings belie the magic that leaps from every page. If your kids relationship with Pooh is best described by the commercial Disney experience, you owe it to them, and yourself, to explore the original writings! Beautiful, captivating and heart-warming, this set is the quintessential addition to your library, as well.

I bought these for my 3 year old daughter. She loves listening to the stories. We read them over and over without ever tiring of them. Great to read the originals and not the Disney version.
