This book will confirm, once and for all, what many will have long suspected: that Pooh is a Bear of Enormous Brain.

Featuring iconic, original quotes from A.A.Milne and decorations by E.H.Shepard from their much-loved story collections: Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. Author, John Tyerman Williams, sets out to prove that the whole of western philosophy, from the cosmologists of Ancient Greece to the existentialists of the twentieth century may be found in the pages of Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner.
