Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

The House At Pooh Corner First edition of the final Pooh book, which introduces both Tigger and the game of Poohsticks. Milne had bought his son a stuffed tiger, "Tigger", and told Shepard that he was longing to see the illustrations for this new character, who would become one of the author's most popular creations.Published on 11 October 1928, the work was received by critics with a delight tinged by sadness. "The Times Literary Supplement congratulated Milne on avoiding 'the temptation to repeat his successful formula mechanically', though it was 'sad to see the stories end'" (Thwaite, Life, p. 336). The House at Pooh Corner "is probably now the most loved and popular of all" in the series (Thwaite, Career, p. 109).
