A fine clean copy in fine leather binding of recent full dark green morocco. Spine with five raised bands, the compartments ruled, decorated, and lettered in gilt. Single gilt ruled border on boards. Top edge gilt. Colour map endpapers bound in at front and rear. Overall a lovely copy of this classic.
Synopsis
The House at Pooh Corner (1928) is the second volume of stories about Winnie-the-Pooh, written by A. A. Milne and illustrated by E. H. Shepard. It is notable for the introduction of the character Tigger, who went on to become a prominent figure in the Disney Winnie the Pooh franchise. The title comes from a story in which Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet build a house for Eeyore. In another story the game of Poohsticks is invented.
