Winnie-the-Pooh (Deseret Alphabet Edition)

Alan Alexander Milne (1882–1956) was an English playwright, poet, and novelist. Although he first gained attention for articles and poems written for the humor magazine “Punch” before World War I, he always insisted on writing what pleased him, rather than what his publishers demanded. Milne is best known today for the four books inspired by his son Christopher Robin’s life as a child. “When We Were Very Young” (1924) and “Now We Are Six” (1927) are poetry collections. (Several poems from the former were set to music by Harold Fraser-Simson.) “Winnie-the-Pooh” (1926) and “The House at Pooh Corner” (1928) are stories about Christopher Robin’s stuffed animals and their adventures in and around the Hundred Acre Woods. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
