Aw, lovely! I had a beautiful tome as a kid, the first book and The House at Pooh Corner. The stories and illustrations are lodged forever in me.

only one problem though - AA Milne has a bit of a delicate relationship with colonialism that shouldn't be celebrated. The hundred acre wood was highly regarded as a traditional imperial palatial land mass that was shut off to the typical people in the 1920s.
