First edition, first printing. Publisher's original green cloth with gilt illustration and border to the upper board and titles in gilt to the spine. Top edge gilt. Illustrated with line drawings by E. H. Shepard throughout. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm with light bumping at the spine tips, the cloth and gilt remain bright and fresh. The contents, with very mild toning to the endpapers and a tiny closed tear to the fore-edge of the front blank are otherwise clean throughout and without foxing, inscriptions or stamps.
A beautiful example of the first book of Pooh stories (followed by The House At Pooh Corner). An indisputable highlight of children's literature.
