SynopsisIn the Forest of A. A. Milnes Winnie the Pooh novels, we never see any Hostile Animals as one the size of a piglet might fear, but instead we see a community of toy animals--Pooh Bear, Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger--who accompany their friend Christopher Robin on his expeditions. Companionship, safe adventuring, and the acceptance of characters flaws and foibles are common themes throughout both books, and the episodes tend to have a similar form in which characters meet, adventure together, and then either reconcile if need be or, more frequently, return to their homes--in Poohs case, usually for some honey. In this affectionate and balanced analysis of two of the most popular books ever written for children, Paula T. Connolly argues that Milnes toy characters and his Christopher Robin inhabit a pretechnological, Arcadian world. Milnes Forest ensures its inhabitants safety much like the Edwardian nursery, according to Connolly--a world, she acknowledges, of privilege and class security. PIM 31-MAY-18 01, This is a full-scale treatment of A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, two of the most popular children's books of all time. Although for many decades people took Milne's work lightly, in the 1980s Benjamin Hoff's The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet secured Milne's status as an object of academic interest. In this comprehensive Pooh companion, Connolly finds the source of Pooh's popularity in the elemental tensions Milne's books express. Empowered by innocence, Pooh's world is an anti-authoritarian realm of universal appeal., In the Forest of A. A.
