18 out of 5 stars! :)) ESSENTIAL for real Pooh fans!

Ever wanted a biography/encyclopedia in print about the world's favorite bear - one that is multi-level, mostly geared for adults, but which can also have much to offer for children and teens interested in the Pooh Books? This is it. Ann Thwaite, following up on her massive biography of A.A. Milne, created this biography of Winnie-the-Pooh, and seldom have I been more impressed by ANY BOOK of any genre. There is plenty of information about A.A. Milne the author and his son Christopher Robin Milne (as well as Mr. Shepard, his own son and his bear Growler, and others), including much textual and photographic material that the average person would have real difficulty finding or seeing on his own; but it's all aimed toward supporting the biography of the real stars of the book, the Toys, the characters they inspire and above all Pooh himself. I've been wanting this book for years, finally was able to get it, and have never been more pleased with the purchase of a book. If you're as much a fan of the Pooh Books as I am, you'll love this. (If you're an even bigger fan and even more knowledgeable, you may still be hard pressed to find any errors or problems in it. I can't.)
