Customer Reviews

Christopher Robin grown up

I discovered Christopher Milne entirely by chance. I was walking in a library one day when, suddenly, a book fell out of the shelf and onto the floor in front of me. I picked it up - and that was how I found his first autobiography, "The Enchanted Places" - and became hooked.Unlike the first, this second autobiography is more or less about Christopher's adult life without the constant influence of his father, A.A. Milne, writer of the Pooh books. It is about a journey in life - one that I found myself relating to completely. Christopher Milne writes with honesty as someone who had lived, struggled and learned. It is about how he coped with being a worldwide celebrity that had done very little to earn the fame, and how he faced having a name that haunted him his whole life. Above all, this is a story of finding self identity.Even though this book is, sadly, out of print, most libraries will probably have preserved copies. If you are even remotely interested, please don't pass this up.

milne's view on depth, nature, and beyond pooh

Milne does see The Path Through The Trees, talks about his daughter, army years, finding work, and opening his book shop. He does not whine about people asking for pooh books, but does enjoy his life the way it is, especially his appreciation of nature and being.
