Now We Are Six by A.A. Milne
5.0
What an incredibly beautiful collection of poetry and illustrations.
This is significantly different from When We Were Very Young. It follows Christopher Robyn and other children when they are a bit older. It also has a bit more Winnie-the-pooh in it. The poems themselves are a lot longer, spanning several pages, and cover more topics than the more introspective life of When We Were Very Young. The rhyming patterns were varied and interesting, and the whole thing has an innate warmness to it that is charming and delightful.
The illustrations and beautiful, and in this edition they are coloured. It really pops and adds to the whole charm.
I am so pleased that I have finished these books, though they give me a sense of melancholy that I will never be able to experience them for the first time ever again. But hey, that is part of growing up I guess.
