I grabbed this book as a counter-balance to Einstein’s War, and while I’m only 30 pages and 2 stories in, it’s charming so far! A.A. Milne has given me a wry and humorous story and a sweet one that manages to be sweet without being saccharine or overly sentimental. If the rest of the stories are this good this collection will be a treasure.
Just to be sure, this is the guy who wrote Winnie the Pooh, right?
Yes – the very same one. And I’m loving it so far, although the last story I read is a bit twisted in a calm, sort of naive way that makes it feel even more twisted.
