Description

Join Pooh’s 100th Anniversary Celebrations with this Centenary Story Collection!

This gorgeously gold-foiled authorised sequel was written by Jane Riordan and features beautiful images by Andrew Grey.

Celebrate 100 years of Winnie-the-Pooh in 2026!

This very special sequel story collection has been created to celebrate Winnie-the-Pooh’s centenary anniversary in 2026, one hundred years after Winnie-the-Pooh was first published in 1926.

‘It’s going to be the biggest party the Forest has ever seen!’

Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends are celebrating a hundred years of adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood! Everyone is invited, so join in with the tales of blustery kite flying, slippery stepping stones and, of course, a spectacular party!

This gold-foiled jacketed hardback edition of the authorised story collection celebrates Winnie-the-Pooh’s world and the beauty of the Hundred Acre Wood. These brand-new stories are set after A.A.Milne and E.H.Shepard’s timeless tales in Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner.

Pooh remains highly popular with fans, both old and young, and talented author Jane Riordan, herself a huge fan of Pooh and his friends, lovingly and respectfully captures A.A.Milne’s writing style as she created new adventures for his iconic characters.

Andrew Grey, himself a fan of E.H.Shepard’s work, captures the gentle humour and strong friendship of the characters in his art that is inspired by Shepard’s original, iconic decorations.

Jane’s writing is filled with the gentle humour, friendship and life lessons that echo A.A.Milne’s original stories. She has a true gift for conveying the essence of Milne’s characters and the Hundred Acre Wood, while showing her real affection for Winnie-the-Pooh, a true bastion of British literary heritage.

A gorgeous story collection that celebrates Pooh’s 100th anniversary.
These brand-new stories will be enjoyed by both new and long-standing Winnie-the-Pooh fans of all ages.
The stories are beautifully illustrated by talented artist Andrew Grey.
This gold-foiled hardback is the perfect gift for the special people in your life whatever their age.

About the Author

Jane Riordan originally trained to be a primary school teacher but her love of children's books led to a career in publishing. Since then, she has edited and written countless books for children, most notably Winnie-the-Pooh Goes to London and the official Winnie-the-Pooh prequel, Once There Was a Bear. A.A. Milne was born in London in 1882 and became a successful playwright and poet. He based Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet and friends on the real nursery toys of his son Christopher Robin and published the first of their adventures in 1926. Since then, Pooh has become a world-famous bear, and Milne's stories have been translated into sixty-two languages.
