Milne, A.A. (1928) ‘The House at Pooh Corner’, US signed limited edition 1/250

Alan Alexander Milne (1928) ‘The House at Pooh Corner’, US signed limited edition, published by E.P. Dutton & Co. One of only 250 copies of which this is no. 155. Signed on the limitation page by A.A. Milne and the illustrator Ernest Shepard.

Condition: a near fine copy and remarkably well preserved. The salmon colours boards retain their original colour. The slightest of shelf wear as pictured. Gilded on all three sides. No inscriptions, stamps, nor bookplates of previous owners of any sorts. A lovely copy. The American published two limited edition variants; a large paper variant in plane boards, and this pink (salmon) variant. The latter seems to be much scarcer. Very few copies will have survived in such beautiful condition.

A.A. Milne needs no introductions. His ‘Winnie the Pooh’ books have catapulted him, and Christopher Robin and his plushy toys into stardom. ‘The House at Pooh Corner’ was the fourth and last book in the series and Milne vouched to not write another story centred around the Bear. ‘Winnie the Pooh’ has been voted as the most popular children book series by the general public. Generations of children have enjoyed its charm and Disney popularised the world even more.
