The House at Pooh Corner

The House at Pooh Corner is a children's book by the English writer A. A. Milne, published in 1928 and illustrated by E. H. Shepard. It is the second of his two books about Winnie-the-Pooh.

The book is made up of ten stories about the animals of the Hundred Acre Wood, and the first of them brings in the characters who were not in the earlier volume. Tigger arrives in the forest and is introduced to the rest of them, and several of the stories are then taken up with the problem of what he eats and how he is to be unbounced. Pooh and Piglet build a house for Eeyore out of sticks, and Eeyore is given to understand that it is a house; Owl's tree blows down and a new home is found for him. Milne writes the animals as small, preoccupied people with firm views about manners, and the comedy depends on the gap between how important they feel and how little they understand. The collection finishes quietly, with Christopher Robin going away to school and Pooh keeping the place where they found the view.

Shepard's drawings fixed the look of the characters for everyone who came afterwards, and this was the last of Milne's Pooh books.
