About this audiobook
"Winnie-the-Pooh" tells the story of Christopher Robin and his friends, which includes Winnie-the-Pooh (a Bear of Very Little Brain), sweet-natured Piglet, cantankerous Rabbit and the gloomy Eeyore. An instant hit when it was originally published, Pooh has become a beloved favorite for children all over the world.
Then, Ruth Stiles Gannett's classic "My Father's Dragon," which relates the story of a young boy trying to free a dragon who is being held captive on Wild Island and the dangerous creatures he encounters on his journey.
And finally, rounding off this animal-filled trio, we have the story of the Man Who Talks to the Animals, Doctor Dolittle himself. This is the first volume of the cherished "Doctor Dolittle" series - which sees the Doctor and his friends travel to Africa and back - and it has been revised for content in this new version.
Enjoy ALL THREE of these classic children's novels in ONE VOLUME! This is the first of a limited series.
A. A. Milne
A.A. Milne (1882-1956) was an English writer. Born in London, Milne was educated at an independent school run by his father. Milne went on to Trinity College, London, where he earned a B.A. in Mathematics while editing and writing for the student magazine Granta. Upon graduating in 1903, Milne worked as a contributor and assistant editor for Punch, Britain’s leading humor magazine, while playing amateur cricket. He served in the British Army in the Great War as an officer and was injured at the Battle of the Somme in July of 1916, which led to his work as a propaganda writer for Military Intelligence before his discharge in 1919. Having married in 1913, Milne and his wife Dorothy de Sélincourt welcomed their son Christopher Robin Milne into the world in 1920. Around this time, Milne worked as a screenwriter for the British film industry while continuing to publish in Punch, where his poem “Teddy Bear” appeared in 1924. Marking the first appearance of his character Pooh, this launched Milne’s career as a successful children’s author. Winnie-the Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928) were immediate bestsellers for Milne and continue to be read, cherished, and adapted today. Following this success, disturbed by the fame surrounding his son Christopher Robin, who figured as a character in his Pooh stories, Milne turned to writing adult fiction and plays, including Toad of Toad Hall (1929), an adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s beloved novel The Wind in the Willows (1908).
