Printing Details
This is a collection of all four Winnie the Pooh books by A A Milne, and illustrated by E H Shepard. All four books were published by Methuen between 1939 and 1940, are hardbacks in the original dustwrappers, with the price of 3/- to the wrapper's spines. They all come from a single owner. The books are:
1. When We Were Very Young (31st edition, 1940). Dustwrapper with slight loss to the spine ends and tanning to the spine. Light overall wear. Fading to the blue cloth corners of the book, previous gift inscription to the ffep. Contents in strong readable condition.
2. Winnie the Pooh (23rd edition, 1940). Much the same as above, with slightly heavier tanning to spine. Again the contents in good clean condition.
3. Now We are Six (13th edition, 1939). Good condition, there is still some wear to the wrapper's edges and tanning, but no fading to the blue cloth, and again the contents in nice, clean condition.
4. The House at Pooh Corner (11th edition, 1940). Loss to the wrapper's spine ends, tanning, fading to the blue cloth binding at the edges. Contents in strong readable condition.
Condition
Please see above but a summary: tanning and edgewear to the wrappers, gift inscription to each book, fading to the boards' edges on three of the books. The wrapper's have now all been put in protective sleeves.
Books are currently zero-rated for duty (as of June 2026), so the price shown is the price you pay.
