Description: London, Methuen, [1925]. X S., 1 Bl., 100 S. Mit zahlr. s/w. Text-Illustr. (19,5 x 13 cm). OLn. mit illustr. Vors. sowie Goldpräg. u. Kopfgoldschnitt. In diesen Kindergedichten ('When we were very young' und 'Now we are six'), die auf Anregung der Lyrikerin u. Kinderbuch-Autorin Rose Amy Fyleman (1877-1957) entstanden,"ist es Milne gelungen, die Spiel- u. Traumwelt seines vier- bis sechsjährihen Jungen, einem Einzelkind, einzufangen. Der kindliche Charakter dieser Altersstufe, gekennzeichnet durch die Extreme von natürlichem Charme der Erscheinung u. rücksichtslosem Egoismus der Denk- u. Sehweise, wird in diesen Versen sinnfällig. Nach W. de la Mare gilt Milne als der bedeutendste englische Kinderlyriker in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Für seine Bücher fand Milne in Ernest Howard Shepard (1879-1976) den kongenialen Illustrator" (Doderer, Lex. KJL II, S. 482). - Kap. bestoßen, Einband schwach fleckig; Vors. u. erstes Blatt gebräunt, Zeitungsauschnittt mit Porträt des Verfassers auf Rückseite des flieg.
