The Complete Short Stories of AA Milne
New Paperback
Postscript summary
Though best known as the creator of Winne-the-Pooh, AA Milne was also an accomplished storyteller for adults, for whom he wrote with imagination, charm and whimsical flair. Ranging from satire to fairy tale, crime to romance, this anthology of 42 short stories and sketches, including four not previously published, well reflects his unerring ability to observe the peculiarities of the human condition.
Product information
Full publisher description
A new collection of A. A. Milne's short stories for grown-ups. Gathered in full for the first time, they include several never published before. They show Milne's renowned charm, concision and whimsical flair in all their brilliance.
He paints memorable scenes - from a children's birthday party, to an accidental encounter with murder, and a case of blackmail - often with an unexpected twist. But he also deals in poignancy, from the girl who pulls the wool over her boyfriend's eyes, to a first dance and first disappointment or family reunion and domestic dissonance.
Beguiling and evocative, Milne's thought-provoking stories for adults will make you see his works for children in a whole new light.
