Item History & Price
Winnie The Pooh
By
A A Milne
Methuen & Co, London - 1926
True UK First Edition / First Printing
**A Lovely Original In Beautiful Condition**
I am delighted to offer for auction an original First Edition / First Printing of the scarce Milne book ' Winnie The Pooh'. Published in 1926 this children's classic is a superior example compared to alot that surface presenting as nearly fine. There were four original Pooh books running between 1924-1928 followed o...n by The Christopher Robin Story Book in 1929. The stories and characters are still much loved the world over today and this book is the one of the most charming children's stories ever written. A delight for the collector and worthy of any shelf.
Book Info: Winnie The Pooh, Methuen, London 1926: First Edition / First Printing. The book is bound in the original green cloth covers with nice bright gilt titles and decorations. This book presents beautifully, certainly one of the better examples i have encountered. Clean, bright and fresh covers showing just a hint of shelf wear to the outer extremities. The colour is perfect with no marks or blemishes and the spine hasn't darkened so holds it full colour well. The gilt is bright and sharp and overall the book looks lovely not showing a bit of its age. Internally the book is again very good+ with the original beige mapped endpapers as called for (changed to green for all later prints). There are No inscriptions or graffiti with one small sticker to the front inner. The pages are pretty much immaculate from front to back with a small mark to the first few couple of leaves only. All illustrations in beautiful conditon and all gutters and margins tightly bound in. The book correctly shows one date of 1926 to the verso of the title page again showing this to be the true First Edition / First Printing. Beautifully illustrated throughout by E H Shepard. Quite simply a gorgeous book given it is nearly 100 years old and certainly up there as a higher grade example.
A delightful book to own and a classic in its own right that will never go out of fashion. These originals are getting more difficult to find remaining timeless.
Good luck with this one and be sure to check out my other items as from now until December i will be listing many highly collectable First Edition books. You can expect to find James Bond, Winnie The Pooh, Tolkien. Harry Potter, J M Barrie, Lewis Carroll, Anthony Powell to name just a few. Why not add me to your favourite sellers list to catch them as they go live.
Happy to post worldwide.
