“So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.”
Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) opens in the Hundred Acre Wood, where a Bear of Very Little Brain lives under the name of Sanders and Christopher Robin asks for stories about him. A. A. Milne builds the book from short chapters of honey, balloons, floods, Heffalumps, Expositions to the North Pole, and birthday muddles.
The House at Pooh Corner (1928) is the second and last book of A. A. Milne's stories about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Forest. It opens with a short verse dedication to Milne's wife and a mock-introduction called a Contradiction, in which the narrator explains that Christopher Robin and his friends, already introduced in the first book, are now going to say good-bye.
