Tales of Before It All Began

By: Jane Riordan, A. A. Milne

Narrated by: Adjoa Andoh

Celebrating 100 years of one of the most beloved icons of children's literature, Winnie-the-Pooh!

A delightful new collection of Winnie-the-Pooh stories, told in the style of A. A. Milne, that explores life before the Hundred Acre Wood.

How did Christopher Robin meet his beloved bear? Did Pooh and his friends see any of London before they moved to the Hundred Acre Wood? These questions and more are explored in this charming new collection of stories.

Each tale features a gentle adventure set in London or the countryside, and they include iconic locations such as Harrods, London Zoo, and the Natural History Museum. Pooh, Eeyore, and Piglet even make a new friend: Flo the house mouse. Written in the timeless style of A. A. Milne, with illustrations that are true to the spirit of the original drawings by E. H. Shepard, these sweet and comforting tales are perfect for both new readers and longtime fans.
