Following the Seventy-fifth Anniversary Year of Winnie-the-Pooh in 2001, there will will be a year of change for The Wisdom of Pooh list in 2002. To celebrate the 20th year since the publication in the UK in 1982 of The Tao of Pooh and the 10th year since the publication in 1992 of The Te of Piglet, the cover for best selling title The Tao of Pooh & The Te of Piglet paperback bind up of these two titles will be redesigned in a new style to reach a wider market for Winnie-the-Pooh adult readers and to encourage new fans for Benjamin Hoff's best-selling titles.
Benjamin Hoff is a writer, photographer, musician and composer and
a specialist in Japanese fine-pruning, with a degree in Ancient
Art.
A. A. Milne’s creation, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends from the
Hundred Acre Wood, was based on the real nursery toys owned by his
son, Christopher Robin. He produced a book of children’s poetry,
When We Were Very Young, in 1924, and in 1926, the seminal
Winnie-the-Pooh. More poems followed in Now We Are Six (1927) and
Pooh returned in The House at Pooh Corner (1928).
Through his writings for Punch magazine, A. A. Milne met E. H.
Shepard. Shepard went on to draw the original illustrations to
accompany Milne’s classics, earning him the name `the man who drew
Pooh’.
