A classic crime story from the world famous author of Winnie-the-Pooh, beautifully re-issued for a whole new audience of Milne fans and crime lovers alike. The perfect stocking filler this Christmas.
Alan Alexander Milne was born in Hampstead in 1882 and attended an
independent school run by his father before studying mathematics at
Cambridge. After university he worked as an Assistant Editor at the
magazine Punch and established himself as a successful author of
both plays and novels, including The Red House Mystery until, with
the publication of When We Were Very Young in 1924 and
Winnie-the-Pooh in 1926 his career took a very different turn.
Milne continued to produce works for adults but occasionally
resented the success of his children's stories, which overshadowed
much of his other work.
In 1952 A. A. Milne suffered a stroke after brain surgery and
retired to his country home in Sussex as an invalid. He died there
four years later.
