The 100th Anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh
October of this year marks the 100th anniversary of the beloved classic, Winnie-the-Pooh. I grew up with Pooh stories and Milne’s poetry (my mom used to quote his poem about turning five pretty regularly).
Simon & Schuster sent me a really nice copy of the 100th Anniversary edition, which has a soft, flocked cover with a simple illustration of the bear himself. It’s a great size for little hands, and the cover has a great texture. The inside features the original illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard.
In honor of this new edition and 100 years of Winnie the Pooh, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite quotes from Winnie-the-Pooh and The House Around Pooh Corner.
The quote that inspired this post, it turns out, isn’t from the book at all but from the Disney movie. I have a small frame with the quote inside that was on a table at my wedding. Between the time my partner proposed and we married, three of our grandparents passed away, and the remaining grandmother was too ill to attend the ceremony. We placed the quote on a table with photos of our grandparents.
