  A.A. Milne will be forever associated with the timeless "Winnie the Pooh" books. In the Pooh stories and in his poetry for children Milne was able to enter the world of childhood in a unique way. Adults continue to enjoy the books as precious windows into their own childhood memories but also because the writing has a wry and winsome humour that speaks to any age. Yet Milne was a successful writer of humour long before he created these children's masterpieces, producing a fine body of articles, novels and plays. 
  "Mr Pim Passes By" is Milne's own adaptation of his successful play of the same name, first produced in 1919 and running for 246 performances. 
  The somewhat self-centred and over comfortable world of George Marden is suddenly disrupted by the arrival of the somewhat aged and confused Mr Pim. This seemingly routine social visit throws George and his family into a comic situation which raises serious questions about a past determined to rear its disturbing head! 
  Head Stories Audio presents " Mr Pim Passes By" by A. A. Milne - narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.
