Barely past the table of contents in this and I‘m already in love with the end papers (top) and illustrations 😍🤗😍

Kathryn Aalto, who wrote this rather gorgeous book about Winnie-the-Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood, has put together a list of 25 women who write about the wild. What's not to love?
(The bad photo's mine, not the book's!)
Kathryn Aalto telling us the story of the real 100 Acre Wood during tonight's event at the bookshop.
pickA whimsical and informative history of the real life inspirations behind A.A. Milne's books. From Milne's childhood love of exploring outdoors to locations featured in his books such as Cotchford farmhouse, Hartfield Village, and Ashtown Forest known by many as Hundred Acre Wood. Scattered throughout are lovely photos and illustrations. This book is great for those who enjoy a little natural history while reading about their childhood favorites.
An old advertisement for Milne's children books.
New thing I learned: H.G. Wells taught A.A. Milne. He took his students on field trips, taught them to illustrate anatomy and botany, and provided specimens from frogs to wildflowers. Milne's father remained a friend of Wells throughout life, and Wells helped A.A. Milne's freelance writing career after he graduated from college.
I've been trying to get through my library books on Overdrive, which has proven to become an endless cycle because I keep on putting books on hold. Tonight's book is about Ashdown Forest, the inspiration behind Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood.
