The House at Pooh Corner
|
|
The House at Pooh Corner (1928) is the second volume of stories about Winnie the Pooh, by A. A. Milne. It is notable for the introduction of the character Tigger, who went on to become a prominent figure in the Disney Winnie the Pooh franchise.
The title comes from a story in which Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet build a house for Eeyore. In another story the game of Poohsticks is invented.
Hints that Christopher Robin is growing up, scattered throughout the book, come to a head in the final chapter, in which the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood throw him a farewell party after learning that he must leave them soon (to attend boarding school, it is implied).
In 2002 an audio version of the book was narrated by Alan Bennett.
