A.A. Milne: Winnie-the-Pooh, first edition

MILNE, A.A.
  Winnie-the-Pooh

"His arms were so stiff... they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week, and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off. And I think--but I am not sure--that that is why he is always called Pooh."

FIRST EDITION of Milne's classic, in the original dust jacket. Illustrated throughout by Ernest Shepard. London: Methuen & Co., Ltd., 1926. Octavo, orginal gilt-stamped cloth, original dust jacket. Book near-fine with a little bit of soiling to endpapers; dust jacket with toning and mild edgewear to spine. $6500.
