Publisher's Synopsis
This is a full-scale treatment of A.A. Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh" and "The House at Pooh Corner", two of the most popular children's books of all time. Although for many decades people took Milne's work lightly, in the 1980s Benjamin Hoff's "The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet" secured Milne's status as an object of academic interest. In this comprehensive Pooh companion, Connolly finds the source of Pooh's popularity in the elemental tensions Milne's books express. Empowered by innocence, Pooh's world is an anti-authoritarian realm of universal appeal.;The Masterwork Studies are readable, explorations of classic Texts. The goal of each Masterwork Study is to encourage creative thinking, enabling students to arrive at sound analyses of their own. Each volume illuminates themes and concepts of a classic text using a clear and conversational language.
