Tales from the Forest is a collection of seven new tales by Jane Riordan, written in the style of AA Milne and featuring beautiful humorous illustrations by Mark Burgess (inspired by EH Shepard’s original drawings). A true gift with beautiful reviews, this is a sequel done the right way! Carmen the little dog is a brand new character with lots of courage, and is may be small but is mighty, with a loud roar! The character was inspired by AA Milne’s own little dog Carmen, who lived with him during World War I.
Filled with the gentle humour, friendships and life lessons that echo his original stories, this is a lovely book to convey the essence of Pooh characters and Hundred Acre Wood, an authentic and loving tribute to a true marker of our literary heritage.
The seven stories take us back to much-loved places like Eeyore’s Gloomy Place and Poohsticks Bridge, as well as new stories that feature trips to the Tower of London and the British Museum. A lovely gift for Winnie-the-Pooh fans of all ages.
One morning, Winnie-the-Pooh woke up with a tingling feeling his toes, that told him Something Good was about to happen…
more wisdom from Winnie-the-Pooh
Even as adults, there is no wisdom like that from this wise bear:
It’s more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long difficult words. But rather short easy words like ‘What about lunch?
If the person you are talking to doesn’t appear to be listening, be patient. It may be simply that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.
You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest, waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.
When you are Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingifhs inside you, is quite different when it gets out into the open, and has other people looking at it.
Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing. Of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.
