A new collection of A. A. Milne's short stories for grown-ups. Gathered in full for the first time, they include several never published before. They show Milne's renowned charm, concision and whimsical flair in all their brilliance.
He paints memorable scenes - from a children's birthday party, to an accidental encounter with murder, and a case of blackmail - often with an unexpected twist. But he also deals in poignancy, from the girl who pulls the wool over her boyfriend's eyes, to a first dance and first disappointment or family reunion and domestic dissonance.
Beguiling and evocative, Milne's thought-provoking stories for adults will make you see his works for children in a whole new light.
