A very special collector’s edition signed and numbered by the author, Jane Riordan, and presented in a beautiful slipcase. This collection sees the introduction of a brand new female character, Carmen, a little dog with lots of courage, as featured in the Telegraph newspaper and on the BBC. Carmen may be small but she is mighty, and she has a loud ROAR!
She was inspired by the discovery that A.A.Milne had a little toy dog mascot, which he called Carmen, with him during WW1. Winnie-the-Pooh Tales from the Forest is a fantastic new authorised sequel story collection by Jane Riordan written in the style of A.A.Milne featuring beautiful, humorous illustrations drawn by Mark Burgess, inspired by E.H.Shepard’s original, iconic decorations. Jane’s writing is filled with the gentle humour, friendship and life lessons that echo A.A.Milne’s original stories.
She has a true gift for conveying the essence of Milne’s characters and the Hundred Acre Wood, while showing her real affection for Winnie-the-Pooh, a true bastion of British literary heritage. ‘One morning, Winnie-the-Pooh woke up with a tingling feeling in his toes that told him Something Good was about to happen …’ This authorised collection celebrates the Hundred Acre Wood. The seven brand-new stories are set after the timeless tales in Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner.
They take us back to much loved places that Milne’s stories and Shepard’s map introduced us to, like Eeyore’s Gloomy Place and the Poohsticks Bridge as well as new settings that Pooh and his friends have adventures in. The stories also feature trips to the British Museum and the Tower of London. These sequel stories will be enjoyed by both new and long-standing Winnie-the-Pooh fans of all ages.
The book makes a perfect gift for the special people in your life whatever their age.

‘Riordan’s collection captures the essence of Milne’s characters and the Hundred Acre Wood … [a] gift for the special people in your life whatever their age.’, - Lancashire Evening Post
‘Winnie the Pooh has always been a very special (albeit funny old) bear, not least of all because his books are filled with wonderful words of wisdom.', - Stylist magazine
‘Often, the original is the best and any attempts to recreate a classic will simply flop. But with Once There Was a Bear the process was so painstaking, the writing so charming and the illustrations such a lovely echo of the past that reading it feels simultaneously like experiencing the very old and the brand new all at once. And we’d say that’s a brief perfectly fulfilled.’, - Artists and Illustrators magazine
‘For those who don’t know the background of the bear bought from Harrods and how he met his friends, it’s a treat.’, - Daily Mail Christmas gift guide
‘Not only is Winnie-the-Pooh a much-loved character, the appeal of these stories is enduring. They have followed me through my childhood, into adulthood and, now, I can share these cherished books with the next generation. I’m reminded of the power of reading, of shared stories and connection. There’s something wonderful about that.’, - Northern Soul
‘It's the forest where Christopher Robin once played, and here, a new generation are keen to retrace Pooh's history.’, - WYNT.com
