These are 12 imaginative stories written by A.A. Milne about beautiful 12 illustrations originally published in the Colliers magazine. (I strongly urge listeners to go to the book using the link provided and look at each illustration while listening. The story he weaves is intimately involved with what is going on there. I promise you will be delighted.) He wove these into flights of fancy and fun about the children shown; their background, problems and desires. There is already a delightful collaborative version of this book in our catalog; however, I like these stories and just want to have the joy of reading them myself. So this will be my solo attempt to bring these stories to life for children and adults. - Summary by phil chenevert
