«When We Were Very Young» is a children's poetry collection by A. A. Milne, published by Methuen in hardback (120 pages, in English).
In this collection, A. A. Milne brings together verses about childhood: games, imagination, routines and small fears. The rhymes, with humour and tenderness, evoke the world of Winnie-the-Pooh and are accompanied by the original illustrations by E. H. Shepard, which bring everyday and fantastical scenes to life.
Third volume in the Winnie-the-Pooh series; the work was originally published in 1924 and this edition is from 1989.
Recommended for early readers and for adults who want to rediscover a classic of English children's poetry.
Alan Alexander Milne was an English writer best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh, as well as children's poetry. Milne was primarily a playwright before the huge success of Winnie-the-Pooh overshadowed his previous work. He served as a lieutenant in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in the First World War and as a captain in the Home Guard in the Second World War.
