Publisher's summary

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, 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.

The stories are:

  • 'Winnie-the-Pooh Goes Visiting and Gets into a Tight Place'
  • 'Pooh and Piglet Nearly Catch a Woozle and Eeyore Loses a Tail'
  • 'Piglet Meets a Heffalump'
  • 'Eeyore Has a Birthday and Gets Two Presents'
  • 'Christopher Robin Leads an Expedition to the North Pole'
  • 'A House Is Built at Pooh Corner for Eeyore'
  • 'Tigger Comes to the Forest and Has Breakfast'
  • 'A Search Is Organised and Piglet Nearly Meets the Heffalump Again'
  • 'Pooh Invents a New Game and Eeyore Joins In'
  • 'Piglet Does a Very Grand Thing and Owl Moves House'
  • 'Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest'
  • 'Piglet Is Entirely Surrounded by Water'
  • 'Christoper Robin Gives Pooh a Party'
  • 'Tiggers Don't Climb Trees'
  • 'Rabbit Has a Busy Day'
  • 'Tigger Is Unbounced'

We all love it!

My whole family loves listening to Winnie the Pooh, from ages 4 to 30! It’s witty and fun to listen to in the car.

Abridged but worthwhile addition to one’s Pooh library

In the past I listened to Peter
Dennis read Winnie the Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner every night (for several years. Som time ago, I discovered this version, read by Alan Bennett. His voice isn't suitable for a "true" Pooh reader. and at first I dismissed it.
But now I find myself listening to it as a novelty and when I need a break from the Peter Dennis version (evidently Christopher
Robin Milne endorsed him as the best and most authentic Pooh reader). It has a quaint, charming appeal and is more subdued, for Bennett makes little or no attempt at varying the voices. His is higher pitched and has a rather nasally touch.

Most all stories are abridged, slightly (e.g., almost all poems are excised). Moreover, many aren’t in order. This would be very bothersome if other versions weren’t available. For someone like me, who knows the stories inside and out, I find these two idiosyncrasies present a welcome charm.

If you’re new to the “real” Winnie the Pooh (not the myriad Disney cartoons and books), I wouldn’t recommend this as your first and only version. Consider it subued comic relief that will keep you guessing and, in my case, double as a sleep aid.

Love this book

I love this book. The narrator is perfect for the story despite what some people might say. The story isn’t meant to be super exciting since it was written for children but it’s still entertaining.

It is abridged poorly.

Perhaps I should have caught that it was abridged before I got it. I don't really blame them for trying but they didn't do a very good job. They sometimes leave in bits that would make no since if I hadn't already read the original stories. The original stories are better especially for adults that might have to listen to these many times.

Terrible performance

Try to find a different narrator. I hate that I wasted a credit on this.
