Description

When We Were Very Young, signed by the author A.A. Milne, and his son, Christopher Robin Milne, for whom he wrote some verses that grew into the collection.

  • A.A. Milne (English).
  • London: Methuen & Co., 1925. 
  • Octavo.
  • Modern full crimson morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, gilt paneled, decorative devices to upper cover and spine, after the original cloth binding, Japanese endpapers and all edges gilt.

  

A rare double signature by the author and his son, for whom he wrote some verses that grew into the collections When We Were Very Young (1924) and Now We Are Six (1927), followed by his two sets of stories about the adventures of Christopher Robin and his toy animals—Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Rabbit, Owl, and Eeyore—as told in Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928).
