MILNE A. A.: (1882-1956) English Author, creator of Winnie-the-Pooh. A fine A.Q.S., A. A.Milne, one page, 8vo, Mallord Street, Chelsea, 20th February 1929. Milne's attractively penned quotation is titled When We Very Young in his hand and represents the first poem in his book of poetry, in full, 'Corner-of-the-Street Down by the corner of the street/ Where the three roads meet/ And the feet/ Of the people as they pass go “Tweet-tweet-tweet”-/ Who comes tripping round the corner of the street?/ One pair of shoes which are Nurses's/ One pair of slippers which are Percy's-/ Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!' Signed and inscribed by Milne at the foot of the quotation. Neatly mounted and matted in cream alongside a modern postcard portrait of Milne accompanied by his son, Christopher Robin, and Winnie the Pooh. 11 x 14 overall. Autograph Quotations by Milne are both extremely rare and desirable. With a slight tear to the right edge, professionally repaired, and not affecting the text or signature. About VG When We Very Young was published in 1924 and featured illustrations by Ernest Shepard. The best selling book of poetry requires the reader to imagine that the narrator may be Christopher Robin, and the 38th poem in the book, entitled Teddy Bear (which was first published in Punch in February 1924), represents the first appearance of Winnie-the-Pooh.
