Changes

This isn’t a new book, but it’s a new release of some old classics, in a nice new edition. It’s a hardback which makes it that little bit more special – I remember thinking it was a real treat to read my mother’s ''Winnie the Pooh'' and ''The House At Pooh Corner'' because they came in a single big, beautiful, hardback volume which stood them apart from most books of my childhood. Hardbacks have weight in your hands. They seem proper, more serious books that than a simple paperback. This is a lovely edition because it’s a child-sized hardback, so you get all the perks of a stiffer spine, but it’s still suitable for little hands to hold. The cover has a clear British theme to it, with red, white and blue background, and the subtitle on the front adds to this. It’s ''Britain through the poems of A.A. Milne and the eyes of E.H. Shepard'' they tell us.
