The House At Pooh Corner

 

Title: The House At Pooh Corner

Author: A. A. Milne

Illustrator: Ernest H. Shepard

Rating: ★★★★★

Age Category: Children's Literature

    Dust Jacket Synopsis: 

    "Pooh, promise you won't forget about me ever. Not even when I'm a hundred."

    "How old shall I be then?"

    "Ninety-nine."

    Winnie-the-Pooh already has one wonderful book about himself and his friends. So we are fortunate indeed that A. A. Milne thought to provide us with this delightful companion volume. 

    Here you will rediscover all the characters you met in Winnie-the-Pooh: Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Owl, Piglet, Kanga, tiny Roo, and, of course, Pooh himself. Joining them is the thoroughly bouncy and lovable Tigger, who leads the rest into some very colorful adventures. 

    Christopher Robin is not yet a hundred, nor is Pooh ninety-nine. But we are sure to remember them, even when they are.

Sonnet 26 by William Shakespeare

Sonnet 26

by William Shakespeare

Lord of my love, to whom in vassalage

Thy merit hath my duty strongly knit,

To thee I send this written embassage,

To witness duty, not to show my wit:

Duty so great, which wit so poor as mine

May make seem bare, in wanting words to show it,

But that I hope some good conceit of thine

In thy soul's thought, all naked, will bestow it;

Till whatsoever star that guides my moving

Points on me graciously with fair aspect

And puts apparel on my tatter'd loving,

To show me worthy of thy sweet respect:

Then may I dare to boast how I do love thee;

Till then not show my head where thou mayst prove me.
