Return to Hundred Acre Wood, the first new Winnie the Pooh book since The House at Pooh Corner was released in 1928, may introduce A.A. Milne’s classic characters to a whole new generation.
The book was released Monday and features ten stories by British author David Benedictus, 71, reports CBC. Mark Burgess illustrated the book, which includes all the old characters and a new addition – Lottie the Otter.
Benedictus said he tried as hard as possible to remain faithful to the world Milne created in the new book, which centres on Christopher Robin’s return from boarding school for the summer.
Milne, who died in 1956 at age 74, wrote two books about Christopher Robin and his adventures with his animal friends of the Hundred Acre Wood.
