Changing Guard at Buckingham Palace

Britain through the Poems of AA Milne and the Eyes of EH Shepard

AA Milne , Illus. EH Shepard
'Once upon a time there were three little foxes 
Who didn’t wear stockings, and they didn’t wear sockses, 
But they all had handkerchiefs to blow their noses, 
And they kept their handkerchiefs in cardboard boxes.' 

The sheer fun of AA Milne’s poems, with their irresistible wordplay appealing to adults and children alike, has easily survived the century since they first appeared, while remaining evocative of British life in the 1920s. This book presents a selection from the two volumes of poetry on which Milne and his illustrator, EH Shepard collaborated: Now We Are Six and When We Were Very Young.
