Summary
The first complete collection of A. A. Milne’s short fiction for grown-ups, including several newly discovered stories
Collected in full for the first time, they are an epiphany, and 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.

What a delightful bunch of stories
Murder, intrigue, and marriage in short stories by the Winnie the Pooh author certainly aren’t as innocent as the adventures I first went on in the Hundred Acre Woods when I was 5. In some ways it reminds me of the teenage embarrassment after THE Biology lesson when you realise your parents did what you learned about at least as many times as they had children.
After the innocence of Pooh and his chums it’s almost a shock to know that Mr Milne knew anything about murder, intrigue, scams, and affairs.
He writes them in his precise slightly stuffy way often sounding very like Rabbit leading the reader gently through the story.
I love this book and it’s certainly going on my read it again pile
