But sometimes Milne adds a little vignette at the start of a chapter, such as when we meet Piglet for the first time: Each takes 15 to 20 minutes or so and have a single adventure. The ten chapters in Milne’s first collection of stories are the perfect short length for parents to read a single chapter per night to their kids before bedtime. The stories are very dialogue- and character-driven and the plots themselves are of lesser importance. But the plans he comes up with aren’t the cleverest and although he isn’t all too clever, he is an optimistic one with a sunny disposition. He doesn’t jump into adventures willy-nilly. He takes his time thinking things through. His real name is actually Edward, which was a surprise to me, to be sure. And Pooh Bear meets Christopher in the stories and they have adventures.Ī couple of things I liked: the origin of the name Pooh remains an ongoing mystery but some answers are suggested. Milne, and he tells his son Christopher stories about him and his toy bear Pooh, who is alive in the stories. There is the Narrator, who is the father of the boy Christopher Robin, and the father is in my mind also the writer A.A. Which proves that I am still no smarter than a child. I thought it would be just the adventures of Pooh Bear, but the narrator thing in Winnie-the-Pooh is a complex situation. I was actually a bit confused at the start of this book.
