Publisher's Synopsis
When We Were Very Young, the first of A.A. Milne's four world-famous books for children, introduced Christopher Robin to innumerable friends, and has probably been read more widely than any other book of verse for children published in our time.
For sheer delightfulness the children's rhymes of A.A. Milne are in a class by themselves, with their charm, humour, and understanding - to say nothing of their irresistible rhythms.
Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations are an important complement to the verses. A.A. Milne has here created a book of proven classic quality, a book that goes straight to the heart.
