The Art of Winnie-the-Pooh : How E. H. Shepard Illustrated an Icon (9781912785018)

Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood are some of the most beloved characters in classic children's literature. But before they appeared in many millions of books and in nearly fifty languages, they started life in the 1920s as the product of a unique collaboration between A. A. Milne and E. H Shepard; author and illustrator wove images and text together in a way that was utterly original for the time.
