Return to the Hundred Acre Woods

Readers have had to wait eighty years since Pooh and Piglet were last seen in the Hundred Acre Woods. And what joy there is in those woods as the news spreads from Owl to Rabbit to Kanga and Roo and finally over to Eeyore (who doubts it): Christopher Robin is back! So begins school holiday, with a Boy a little older and a Tale no less endearing and a Very Modern Problem as the water supply dries up in the Hundred Acre Woods, the bees migrate and it's left to a Bear of Little Brain to entice them back. With a copy of the four previous books remade into a sturdy and handsome new edition and the new chapter by David Benedictus and Mark Burgess to complete the quintet, it's been the happiest Sunday. And joy O joy, tomorrow's a bank holiday!
