'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. Age 6+
A selection of poetry from When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six, this collection is steeped in the history and culture of the British Isles. A beautiful gift edition, with exquisite decorations from E.H.Shepard, this is the perfect memento of a trip to London - or a wonderful gift for a christening or a special birthday.
