  Join Bertie Wooster as he navigates the bizarre and extraordinary world of Brinkley Manor. In an attempt to prove himself smarter than his valet Jeeves, Bertie takes it upon himself to solve the problems of his fellow guests - timid Gussie Fink-Nottle’s desire to propose to Madeline Bassett, his Aunt Dahlia’s gambling problem, the broken engagement between Tuppy Glossop and Angela Travers, and the resignation of their prized chef Anatole - all while preparing for the unpleasant job of delivering the school prizes to the students of a local grammar school. 
  But when his ingenious solutions only make the problems a million times worse, the mounting chaos soon becomes too much for Bertie to handle - but lucky for him, Jeeves is there to set things right!

  A.A. Milne's first collection of stories about his son's endearing and not-very-bright toy bear and his friends, "Winnie-the-Pooh" is the original source material for one of children's literature's most enduring and beloved characters. Edward Bear (also known as Winnie) is the simple, easy-going companion to young Christopher Robin. He and his friends (Christopher Robin's other stuffed animals - Eeyore the Donkey, Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga and Baby Roo) are the inhabitants of the imaginary Hundred Acre Wood. We follow Pooh Bear as he tries to extract honey from a beehive, overstays his welcome at Rabbit's house, attempts to find Eeyore's missing tail and hunts for the elusive Heffalump.Sweet-natured, full of sly humor and enhanced with illustrations by the original artist, E.H. Shepard, "Winnie-the-Pooh" has remained a classic of children's literature for decades and the characters have been immortalized in countless screen and television adaptations.The stories are presented here in their original and unabridged form.
