Brand-New Pooh

The estate of A.A. Milne--which operates as Trustees of the Pooh Properties--has authorized the first new Winnie the Pooh book since Milne's death. The anointed author is David Benedictus, who has previously penned audio adaptations of the classic childrens' stories. The new book will be titled "Return to the Hundred Acre Wood" and will be published October 5.

The Star Tribune has the details..--David E

That will be interesting (although unread by me). One wonder$ why a new book is nece$$ary.

Will Mr. Benedictus adopt the tone of A.A. Milne and how he will keep it from sounding like a parody -- tiddley pom --? Oh, bother.
