Winnie-The-Pooh

Alan Bennett reads A.A. Milne''s much-loved stories about a small bear and his friends. The collection includes; Winnie the Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner and A Party for Pooh.

What is the connection between a bear of very little brain and a honey pot? Usually it''s the very sticky paw of Winnie the Pooh, as he takes a break between adventures for a little something. In these stories, taken from the book ''Winnie-the-Pooh'', Pooh goes visiting and gets into a tight place, Eeyore loses a tail, Piglet meets a Heffalump, Eeyore has a birthday and gets two presents, and an expedition is mounted to the North Pole! As usual they are accompanied by Kanga, Roo, Rabbit and Owl - to say nothing of Pooh''s very clever young human friend, Christopher Robin. Now with a musical introduction, Alan Bennett gives A.A. Milne''s characters the voices you felt they were always meant to have in this collection of stories about Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore and Owl.
