A. A. Milne’s sequel The House at Pooh Corner was published in 1928. It followed the success of Winnie-the-Pooh, which had appeared two years earlier.
The book was illustrated by E. H. Shepard and became the second and final collection of Pooh stories written by Milne. Between the two books, Milne and Shepard published Now We Are Six, a poetry collection that also included material connected with the Pooh world.
The House at Pooh Corner contains several memorable stories, including the building of a house for Eeyore, adventures involving Piglet and Rabbit, and Christopher Robin’s growing awareness that childhood is changing. Its final chapter is especially important because it provides a farewell between Christopher Robin and Pooh.
The 1928 date distinguishes this book from later Disney productions and from Milne’s earlier poetry books. It is also the source text in which Tigger first appears, although Disney later made the character much more prominent.
