Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne with decorations by Ernest H. Shepard, 5/5

These stories are delightful and surprisingly witty (Milne was, after all, also a writer for the popular humor and satire magazine, Punch), so it is easy to see why Winnie-the-Pooh continues to be such a popular character, even almost 100 years after he was first introduced. This edition is particularly lovely, with thick paper, imaginative typesetting, and tastefully-colored illustrations.

Why I read it: included in a box of hand-me-down books from a friend.
