Rare U.K. first edition, first printing of A.A. Milne's beloved classic ''Winnie the Pooh.'' Published by Methuan and Co: London: 1926. With ''First Published in 1926'' on the copyright page, indicating the first printing, and also containing the rare, original dustjacket. Beautifully illustrated throughout with full page drawings by the author's friend, E.H. Shepard, with likenesses of the familiar characters very much as they appeared in later ''Pooh'' books. Though ''Winnie the Pooh'' is the second in the ''Pooh'' series following 1924's ''When We Were Young,'' it remains the most recognizable and popular. Light chipping and wear to the book; a small stain to the rear cover of dustjacket, some creasing and light chipping. Overall a very attractive and well-preserved copy in very good condition.
