Synopsis

In "When We Were Very Young," A. A. Milne crafts a whimsical tapestry of childhood innocence through a collection of poems that captures the joys and trials of youth. This charming work employs lighthearted rhyme and vivid imagery, inviting readers into a world of imagination and wonder. Milne'Äôs literary style is characterized by its playful language and subtle profundity, resonating with both children and adults. The poems are set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, reflecting a simpler time infused with joy and nostalgia, thus situating the collection within the broader context of children's literature that aspires to celebrate the magic of youth. A. A. Milne, best known for his beloved creation of Winnie-the-Pooh, was deeply influenced by his own experiences as a father and his fondness for the imaginative play of children. Growing up in a middle-class English family, Milne's literary pursuits were initially shaped by his education at the prestigious Westminster School.

For readers seeking a heartfelt exploration of childhood, "When We Were Very Young" is a delightful invitation to reconnect with one's inner child. Milne's ability to evoke nostalgia and joy makes this collection a valuable addition to any bookshelf. Its blend of whimsy and genuine emotion offers both entertainment and reflection, ensuring its place as a cherished classic in the realm of children's literature.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we explore the poets and poetry of that short poetry movement; The Georgians.  In a handful of years, they forged their careers and expressed themselves in ways that illuminate and discover both themselves and the world around them.
