Synopses & Reviews
It was eighty years ago, on the publication of The House at Pooh Corner, when Christopher Robin said good-bye to Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. Now they are all back in new adventures, for the first time approved by the Trustees of the Pooh Properties. This is a companion volume that truly captures the style of A. A. Milne — a worthy sequel to The House at Pooh Corner and Winnie-the-Pooh.
Review
"A warm jumble of happy memories. It's both surprising and comforting that tales of such soft tenderness are still relevant." Booklist
Review
"Obviously, this volume was written with love and caring in the finest tradition of imitation....It is unusual for a sequel by a modern author to maintain the pace, ambiance and characterization of the original as closely and smoothly as Benedictus' has." Chicago Sun-Times
Review
"I think that David Benedictus has done a sterling job in taking on such a difficult task and has created a book that will be as much a companion of today's generation as its predecessor was for those who are now parents and grandparents." Fantasy Book Review
Review
"Benedictus could easily have passed into parody, but his writing has a gentle humour and charm which captures the original perfectly....This book is a joyful and apt addition to the Pooh saga." The Telegraph (U.K.)
