AA Milne: A Gallery of Children

A. A. Milne

Here for your enjoyment are 12 imaginative stories written by A.A. Milne about beautiful 12 illustrations originally published in the Colliers magazine. (I strongly urge listeners to find this book on line and look at each illustration while listening. The story he weaves is intimately involved with what is going on there. I promise you will be delighted.) He wove these into flights of fancy and fun about the children shown; their background, problems and desires. I liked these stories and just wanted to have the joy of reading them myself. So this will be my solo attempt to bring these stories to life for children and adults.
