An Essex House on Pooh Corner

Available for over a year

Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger are some of the most beloved characters in children's literature. A House at Pooh Corner first appeared in print in 1925, and just a few years earlier A. A. Milne was a student at Trinity College, but there's also a little-known Essex connection to the author... To mark the centenary of Winnie-the-Pooh, Gyles Brandreth has written a book about the author's life, career and his friends of Hundred Acre Wood... Picture credit: / BBC
