Now We Are Six

First American Edition, First Printing (1927). Illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. Near fine in a very good plus dust jacket. Red boards fine with some toning to front and rear free endpapers. Content fine, clean, bright and unmarred. Pictorial dust jacket colorful and bright, chipping and slight loss to spine head and tail and corners, slight crease on front cover. Rear cover slightly toned with very small closed tear at bottom edge. Otherwise, a wonderful and scarce pictorial jacket, especially in this nice condition.  8vo 8" - 9" tall. 103pp. A lovely copy for the Pooh fan.

The third book in the Pooh series, featuring more of the poetry that launched Milne to success in the first Pooh book, When we Were Very Young. The furry friends of the Hundred Acre Wood are incorporated into these children's poems. Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin are here, but readers also run into Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, and Roo. Notably, within only a few months of publication, this installment of the Pooh series had already outsold its bestselling predecessor, Winnie The Pooh.
