This delightful book introduces us to Shepard the artist before going on to the production of the classic Winnie-the-Pooh books from the first collaboration between A A Milne and Shepard, right through to - ugh - Disney. It is, of course, fully illustrated with some fascinating first ideas for Pooh illustrations - many unused in the end - as well as lots of background information. It is also a beautifully produced book so a real pleasure from every point of view.
