This is a beautiful book. James Campbell has done a marvelous job of collecting examples of the art of EH Shepherd who did the illustrations for the Winnie the Pooh books and 'The Wind in the Willows'. Redolent of memories from childhood, every page holds delight. I was reminded of the animals of the 100 acre wood, and the poetry some of which is permanently etched in my memory. My favourite was 'The King's breakfast' which is printed in full. Inside the back cover is an envelope containing an a

Art lovers and people who love biographies
This is an excellent biography about E. H. Shepard and how he came about to work with A. A. Milne to help bring the characters of Winnie the Pooh to life in art.

I really enjoyed this book. It is hardback, ordered from the U.K. at a very reasonable price, and was worth the wait.

Fans of classic children's literature will enjoy this romp through the Hundred Acre Wood, exploring the "decorations" of Ernest H. Shepard and his collaboration with A.A. Milne. These never-seen-before early sketches of Pooh, Piglet, and Christopher Robin are charming and delightful and show how author and illustrator worked together to develop some of children's literature's most enduring characters.

Simplistic But to the Point
I really enjoyed this book. The biographical detail intertwined with the play-by-play of the publication of the Winnie-the-Pooh books was detailed but never burdensome. The language seems meant for young readers but conveys the story very well. The numerous illustrations that are all explained in the text is a rare-find and highly appreciated.

A lovely look at the collaboration between Milne and Shepard to produce Winnie the Pooh and all of his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood. Filled with drawings and sketches by Shepard — many not seen before.
My family Ryan and Celeste gave me this book. I loved the illustrations and I just love Pooh so this book was a real gift to read.
This was such a lovely, enjoyable quick read! It was so interesting to find out more of the history of the illustrator of the most beloved bear.
Flipped through. Would love to fully read this sometime. I love his illustrations.
Wonderful book about the creation and devotion to the Winnie the Pooh books.
Nice to see how Winnie evolved both as an idea and in illustrations. This is a quick read.
A perfect book
Loved it.
