Milne's best-loved characters Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh and others in a more general nonsense vein. The title comes from the final poem of the book: <blockquote><i>When I was One, I had just begun. When I was Two, I was nearly new. When I was Three I was hardly me. When I was Four, I was not much more. When I was Five, I was just alive. But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever, So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.</i></blockquote> However, the author says in the introduction: <blockquote>We have been nearly three years writing this book. We began it when we were very young...and now we are six. So, of course, bits of it seem rather baby-ish to us [...] So we want you to know that the name of the book doesn't mean that this is us being six all the time, but the it is about as far as we've got at present, and we half think of stopping there.</i></blockquote> Many printed editions of this book are illustrated with Ernest H. Shepard's familiar art, including a few drawings into which Winnie-the-Pooh wandered by accident. 1359963 book 1927 Now We Are Six total:1084|5:534|4:333|3:182|2:33|1:2| 1084 4616 1290 38 5 1 false false Sun Sep 08 00:00:00 -0700 1991 Sat Aug 15 04:26:16 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 11:19:59 -0700 2009 3545352 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 14:58:39 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 15:09:24 -0700 2009 2 Pooh series.

Forgiven reminded me of a insect catching kit I had as a child - and that then reminded me of fireflies - ahhh... good times...
