Summary:
"Delve into the home of the world's most beloved bear. Few people know that the
Hundred
Acre
Wood
- the setting for Winnie-the-Pooh's adventures - was
inspired
by Ashdown
Forest
, a wildlife haven that spans more than 14,000 acres in southeast England. The enchanting landscapes where Pooh, Christopher Robin, and their friends live and play. You can visit the ancient black walnut tree on the edge of the
forest
that became Pooh's house, go deep into the pine trees to find Poohsticks Bridge, and climb up to the top of the enchanted Galleons Lap, where Pooh says goodbye to Christopher Robin. You will discover how Milne's childhood connection with nature and his role as a father influenced his famous stories, and how his close collaboration with illustrator E. H. Shepard brought those stories to life. This charming book also serves as a guide to the plants, animals, and places of the remarkable Ashdown
Forest
. In a delightful narrative, enriched with E. H. Shepard's original illustrations, hundreds of colour photographs, and Milne's own words, you will rediscover your favourite characters and the magical place they called home. Kathryn Aalto is an American landscape designer, historian, writer, and lecturer living in Exeter, England. She has master’s degrees in garden history and creative nonfiction with a particular interest in literary landscapes. Her website is kathrynaalto.com."--Provided by publisher.
