London, Methuen and Co. Ltd., 1927
A charming collection of rhymes and verses, some of which, such as 'Us Two' and 'The Friend' feature Winnie-The-Pooh. The final one, 'The End' has the now famous final couplet;
'But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever.
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.'
The third book in the Winnie The Pooh series.
First edition, first impression; 8vo; illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard, light offsetting to endpapers and half-title, else unmarked internally; publisher's red cloth gilt, top edge gilt, pictorial endpapers, corners slightly bumped, slight rubbing to corners and spine ends, with the first state dustjacket, extremities slightly rubbed and toned, a few nicks and short closed tears repaired with tape, spine darkened; a very good copy in the moderately worn dustjacket.
