The Enchanted PlacesNow in his fifties, Christopher Milne looks back at the child forever enshrined in "that enchanted place on the top of the Forest" and at the boy growing up for whom that child became a burden. In a gracefully written memoir, touching and humorous in turn, he not only answers the questions Pooh fans have asked for years, but also evokes an era and a way of life in London and the Sussex countryside that has its own nostalgic charm. -- Jacket flap. |
