A.A. Milne – författare

For decades, readers of all ages have been thrilled and enchanted by the tales of Winnie-the-Pooh and the world of the Hundred Acre Wood.

With a host of companions including Eeyore, Piglet, Owl, Kanga, and his faithful human companion Christopher Robin, this lovable bear has found his way into the hearts of millions around the world.

Translated into dozens of languages - and with sales in excess of 50 million copies - Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends remain as accessible and beloved today as they were when first introduced to reading audiences almost a hundred years ago.

Few stories share a multi-generational audience, but the characters here are as relatable to a six-year-old as they are to a 60-year-old. For the young, and young-at-heart, the message of joy and friendship both charms and resonates. Never out of print, here''s your chance to bring this story home to another generation.

Alan Bennett reads five much-loved stories by Kenneth Grahame, Lewis Carroll and AA Milne. Alan Bennett’s distinctive readings of these cherished children’s stories have become classics in their own right. Portraying each character in his own inimitable fashion, his delightfully expressive voice perfectly conveys the sparkling humour, charm and magic of these timeless tales. The Wind in the Willows tells the classic story of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad (of Toad Hall) and their waterside adventures. Alice in Wonderland sees Alice following a white rabbit down a hole and embarking on a series of adventures with some of the most weird and wonderful characters ever encountered. Through the Looking Glass continues Alice’s adventures, as she sees another world in the looking glass and wishes she could go there. In a selection of stories from Winnie-the-Pooh, Pooh goes visiting and gets into a tight place, Eeyore loses a tail, Piglet meets a Heffalump, Eeyore has a birthday, and an ‘expotition’ to the North Pole is mounted. The House at Pooh Corner finds Pooh and Piglet building a house for Eeyore, whilst Tigger comes to the forest and has breakfast. Piglet nearly meets the Heffalump again, Pooh invents a new game, and Owl moves house. Duration: 7 hours 50 mins approx.
