Celebrate Winnie-the-Pooh’s 100th Anniversary with all new audio editions!
Narrator Sally Phillips says:
‘I have loved Winnie the Pooh since before I could spell, so it is a very huge honour to read the audio books of these wonderful stories for a new generation of listeners … I loved having these magical, whimsical stories read to me, loved reading them myself to my children and reading them again here for you has been a joy as well as a privilege. I hope you enjoy discovering or rediscovering the magic of Winnie the Pooh as much as I did.'
This audio narration includes poems featuring Pooh helping Christopher Robin with his schoolwork (if helping is the word). It is an evocation of childhood, seen through the eyes of six-year-old Christopher Robin.
- This audio book of unabridged classic poetry will delight fans of all ages.
- With cozy narration by talented actor Sally Phillips.
- Relive favourite poems brought stunningly to life with the new naration.
- Collect all four to hear the complete classic collection of stories and poetry.
This audio book is a treasure trove of favourite nursery poems, including Us Two, Sneezles and The End.
This brand-new audio edition is beautifully narrated by Sally Phillips. An English actor, writer, comedian, producer and director, Sally is best known for her work in TV sitcoms such as Smack the Pony, Miranda, Veep, We Might Regret This and Austin and for her work in films such as My Happy Ending and the Bridget Jones series.
Sally has a wealth of audiobook credits to her name, Confessions of a Forty-Something F–k Up, The Hotel Avocado and Life Hacks for a Little Alien to name a few.
In this stunning audio edition, Sally's calming narration ensures Milne’s joyful, humorous and well-observed poems can be heard and enjoyed by fans of all ages.
E.H.Shepard’s original, iconic artwork has been reproduced for the cover of this audio edition, so it pays homage to the vividness of the original art that accompanied A.A.Milne’s classic, favourite stories.
The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for one hundred years. Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.
Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you’re 5 or 55, Pooh is the Bear for All Ages.

-
‘… a tome to cherish now and pass down through the generations for years to come.’, The Independent
-
Steve Hogarty said about Winnie-the-Pooh: The Complete Collection of Stories and Poems: ‘Lovingly illustrated by E.H.Shepard, the stories of Pooh and his pals are sure to delight little readers and even younger listeners, as they did me.’, The Independent

Some retro reviews of the original publication in the 1920s:
-
“I prophesy that Mr. Milne’s latest book of verses, ‘Now We Are Six,’ will appeal to grown-ups as much as to the public for whom it is primarily intended.”, The Daily Express, 10th November 1927
-
“When Mr. Milne began four years ago to write verses for his small son, and, through ‘Punch’, had the good fortune to have them illustrated by Mr. E. H. Shepard, he little realised that within a few months five continents would be clamouring for the adventures of ‘Christopher Robin’ and his pets.”, Sunday Express, 21st October 1928
