Description: Now Teddy, as was only right,Slept on an ottoman at night.And with him crowded in as well,More animals than I can tell... Here we offer a very attractive facsimile of the 1924 first edition of A.A. Milne's endearing classic, When We Were Very Young, published by Methuen & Company, Ltd., London in 1999. When We Were Very Young is notable for being the original first book appearance of the Winnie the Pooh character that the series would become known by ("Teddy Bear" here.) Densely illustrated by the iconic Pooh illustrator, E.H. Shepard, and featuring the delightful verse A.A. Milne wrote for his boy, this book is a delight. Cloth-bound and gilt-impressed binding features gilt at top of text block (to keep dust out). It comes complete with a very special facsimile dust jacket you can only get here, printed on a heavyweight eggnog sheet of ph-neutral, vellum-textured French art paper. Also comes with a facsimile of the original advertising leaflet Milne's UK publisher inserted with Winnie the Pooh. Boards are scuffed, and half-title page bears a neat inscription. Appears unread within, but for a small mark on title page (please see pic.) Very tight and square binding; very clean, bright, and crisp text and illustrations. 100 pages; measures approximately 7.75 x 5.25-inches. This very special book will make a wonderful addition to your library or a very special and thoughtful gift.Please click HERE to see the other Pooh classics we offer!
