A collection of short stories and poems that Milne contributed to Punch. Includes a mix of titles written prior to the Great War, during, and afterwards.

My first foray into Milne's writing for adults, this was delightful way to spend a few hours. There's some similarities to Wodehouse in some of the writing, and even a century later many of the jokes remain thoroughly entertaining. And for once, poems I completely got - it helps most of them of were comic. Recommended if it sounds appealing. ( )

Another great short story collection for adults from AA Milne. not as good as Four Days Wonder. ( )

A volume of short stories and poems by the author of Winnie-the-Pooh. The stories are clever and charming, exactly the way you would expect a polite gentleman of good breeding to write. They are comforting in that nothing upsetting happens and even the small difficulties turn out all right in the end. My favorites were the stories about the Great War, in which the author writes about his experiences on the Western Front, and a story about friendly competition at golf. However, all of the stories were enjoyable and sweet. ( )
