The famous Englishman A. A. Milne (1882–1956), creator of Winnie the Pooh, known to “all, all, all” children, appears this time as the author of wonderful stories that will certainly interest adult readers. Masterfully constructed plots, unusual characters, very unexpected turns of events, unpredictable endings and, of course, the inherent irony of this author - these are the characteristic features of the stories collected in this book.
