    A. A. (Alan Alexander) Milne

    Alan Alexander Milne (18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various poems. Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work. Milne served in both World Wars, joining the British Army in World War I, and was a captain of the British Home Guard in World War II. (Wikipedia)

    • 4/5
      A collection of short stories and poems that Milne contributed to Punch. Includes a mix of titles written prior to the Great War, during, and afterwards.My first foray into Milne's writing for adults, this was delightful way to spend a few hours. There's some similarities to Wodehouse in some of the writing, and even a century later many of the jokes remain thoroughly entertaining. And for once, poems I completely got - it helps most of them of were comic. Recommended if it sounds appealing.
    • 4/5
      A volume of short stories and poems by the author of Winnie-the-Pooh. The stories are clever and charming, exactly the way you would expect a polite gentleman of good breeding to write. They are comforting in that nothing upsetting happens and even the small difficulties turn out all right in the end. My favorites were the stories about the Great War, in which the author writes about his experiences on the Western Front, and a story about friendly competition at golf. However, all of the stories were enjoyable and sweet.
