Learn more about the real place that inspired the beloved stories. Delve into the home of the world's most beloved bear! The Natural World of Winnie-the-Pooh explores the magical landscapes where Pooh, Christopher Robin, and their friends live and play. The Hundred Acre Wood--the setting for Winnie-the-Pooh's adventures--was inspired by Ashdown Forest, a wildlife haven that spans more than 6,000 acres in southeast England. In the pages of this enchanting book you can visit the ancient black walnut tree on the edge of the forest that became Pooh's house, go deep into the pine trees to find Poohsticks Bridge, and climb up to the top of the enchanted Galleons Lap, where Pooh says goodbye to Christopher Robin. You will discover how Milne's childhood connection with nature and his role as a father influenced his famous stories, and how his close collaboration with illustrator E. H. Shepard brought those stories to life. This charming book also serves as a guide to the plants, animals, and places of the remarkable Ashdown Forest, whether you are visiting in person or from the comfort of your favorite armchair. In a delightful narrative, enriched with Shepard's original illustrations, hundreds of color photographs, and Milne's own words, you will rediscover your favorite characters and the magical place they called home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003eWeight\t32.1 Oz\u003cbr\u003eWidth\t6.8in.\u003cbr\u003eHeight\t1in.\u003cbr\u003eLength\t9in.\u003cbr\u003eIllustrated\tYes\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages\t308 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\tKathryn Aalto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReviews\tThe enchantment of A. A. Milne's books comes from the world his characters inhabit. We all remember the Hundred Acre Wood as a place of delightful mishaps, silly misunderstandings, daring expeditions, and--of course--naps. It sounds idyllic, but The   Natural World of Winnie-the-Pooh  reminds us that the Hundred Acre Wood is quite real and very much alive. Everyone who loves Pooh and Piglet and Christopher Robin will cherish this behind-the-scenes exploration of A. A. Milne's world. Now I want to go to England and see it myself, but Kathryn Aalto reminds us that delightful mishaps and daring expeditions are possible anywhere, if we'll just go outside and find them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can be sure your item will be packaged with great care\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe ship within the Continental US.
