"When We Were Very Young" is a book of poetry for children by the legendary British author A.A. Milne and marks the first appearance of the "silly old bear" who would soon become a worldwide sensation: Winnie-the-Pooh.
In these poems, the narrator - a young boy named Christopher Robin (after Milne's own son) - navigates the world of adolescence, imagining kings and queens, questing knights, talking bears, imaginary friends and explores the curiosity and wonder of the grown-up world seen through the eyes of a child.
"When We Were Very Young" - the first book of the Winnie-the-Pooh series - was an immediate hit when it was first published in 1924 and spawned the next three Pooh books: Winnie-the-Pooh, Now We Are Six and The House at Pooh Corner. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format, complete with the original illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard.
