Winnie-The-Pooh: Facsimile of the Original 1926 Edition With Illustrations

Winnie-the-Pooh has been treasured by generations, rooted into our culture and imagination. Have you ever wondered how it all started? Wonder no more! This edition is virtually an exact replica of the original 1926 edition. As a facsimile, it has all the original illustrations by E. H. Shepard. This includes the delightful map of the 100 Aker Wood with the note by the author, Drawn by Me and Mr. Shepard HelpD (sic). Pass along to the next generation the classic children's book spun out of the imagination of A. A. Milne, before the story was taken over by corporate interests and other creators.As a facsimile, you can expect all the tiny 'flaws' that adorn an original text that is nearly one hundred years old. No attempt was made to 'clean' them up beyond what was necessary to take an American classic and make it available using modern printing technology. If you long for recreating the nostalgia of days gone by with your children and grand-children, this edition is as close are you are going to get. This illustrated book comes with a dust jacket and is a perfect gift!
