Winnie-the-Pooh, books the Original Version Paperback – August 1, 2011

When I went away to college many years ago, my mother loaned my "Winnie-the-Pooh"—received on my fifth birthday—to a young co-worker to read to her children. It was never returned. I have been mourning ever since! The fact that this book had everything the original had, except the hardback cover, made it irresistible. I bought it! It did not disappoint. I saw the same dear pictures of the same beloved Pooh in the well-remembered interesting situations with his unique take on matters and his same friends and his companion, Christopher Robin. The book now has joined its mate, "The House at Pooh Corner." My bookcase is no longer missing something. Get this book and read it to your children or give it to them to read, as my mother did me. It cannot be replaced by the Disney Pooh. That Pooh is a whole different animal...trust me. Oh, and lend it to NO ONE. Get them one of their own!

The original story of Winnie the Pooh. The innocent and warm story of friendship that has been enjoyed by generations of children for years. Untouched by time. It's rewarding to have a story that can still be shared with our young children.

The book is just fantastic, easy to read and reminisce. The quality of the book and the text it's just phenomenal. I love the little illustrations in the book.The look of the cover really gives it an old book feel. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to keep their childhood alive.

A corner stone of my Pooh collection !

Wish I had bought the hard cover

I bought this as a reference copy and it works fine for that. The text on the cover looks like it was printed double or smudged (might be a one-off), but the interior is perfectly fine and legible. The cover color is pretty close to the 1926 original, and the interior has all the illustrations and such, so overall, if you're just looking for a cheap replica, this is quite acceptable.

WONDERFUL! Great book. Great value.Quick delivery.!

I purchased this book because it was the original version and not a Disney story. I looked at it as it was a gift and it was so charming. I was delighted that Amazon offered it.
