NEW unabridged audio book of Now We Are Six, Milne’s classic, timeless poetry for children.

'But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever. So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.'

Celebrate Winnie-the-Pooh’s 100th Anniversary!

Picture the world through the eyes of Christopher Robin and his faithful companion Winnie-the-Pooh with this audio edition of the timeless collection of verse, a treasure trove of favourite nursery poems including Us Two, Sneezles and The End.

This brand-new audio edition of Winnie-the-Pooh poetry is beautifully narrated by Sally Phillips. An English actor, writer, comedian, producer and director, Sally is best known for her work in TV sitcoms such as Smack the Pony, Miranda, Veep, We Might Regret This and Austin and for her work in films such as My Happy Ending and the Bridget Jones series.

Sally has a wealth of audiobook credits to her name, Confessions of a Forty-Something F–k Up, The Hotel Avocado and Life Hacks for a Little Alien to name a few.

This audio narration of Milne’s work includes poems featuring Pooh helping Christopher Robin with his schoolwork (if helping is the word). It is an evocation of childhood, seen through the eyes of six-year-old Christopher Robin.

  • This audio edition of the original, unabridged classic poetry will delight fans of all ages.
  • With highly appealing narration by talented actor Sally Phillips.
  • Relive favourite poems brought stunningly to life with the new naration for the centenary.
  • Collect all 4 audio books to hear the complete Winnie-the-Pooh classic collection of stories and poetry.

In this stunning audio edition, A.A.Milne’s classic poetry is once again brought to life. The calming narration ensures Milne’s joyful, humorous and well-obserived poems can be heard and enjoyed by fans of all ages.

E.H.Shepard’s original, iconic artwork has been reproduced for the cover of this audio edition, so it pays homage to the vividness of the original art that accompanied A.A.Milne’s classic, favourite stories.

Milne and Shepard had a unique working relationship for their time, in that they closely collaborated on the design of the storybooks and poetry. This joint approach to laying out the words and illustrations was clearly the perfect partnership; Shepard captured the visual charm of Pooh’s world, created by Milne, resulting in the gorgeous print books we all know and love. Milne’s captivating writing can be enjoyed in a whole new way in the audio editions that can be enjoyed by fans of all ages.

The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for one hundred years. Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.

Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you’re 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages.

Some retro reviews of the original publication in the 1920s:

“I prophesy that Mr. Milne’s latest book of verses, ‘Now We Are Six,’ will appeal to grown-ups as much as to the public for whom it is primarily intended.”, The Daily Express, 10th November 1927

“When Mr. Milne began four years ago to write verses for his small son, and, through ‘Punch’, had the good fortune to have them illustrated by Mr. E. H. Shepard, he little realised that within a few months five continents would be clamouring for the adventures of ‘Christopher Robin’ and his pets.”, Sunday Express, 21st October 1928
