James Campbell: The Making of Winnie-The-Pooh, Gebunden

Klappentext

Published to celebrate the centenary of the first publication of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, this beautiful volume celebrates these ever-fresh, much-loved characters and the visionary writer and talented illustrator who created them.

Originally published a century ago, Winnie-the-Pooh books are ever popular, having sold millions of copies in over fifty languages worldwide and inspiring hit film adaptations, television shows, and plenty of merchandise in between. Winnie and his friends are adored by generations of young and old alike. Now, in celebration of Winnie's 100th anniversary, this beautiful full-color volume is published to explore how Pooh's creators first met while working together for England's satirical Punch magazine and how the beloved characters came to be.

Author James Campbell brings to life Winnie's two remarkable creators--writer A. A. Milne and illustrator E. H. Shepard--whose collaboration resulted in timeless, charming stories of childhood innocence, beloved characters, and a world where there is always some honey left in the pot.

This expertly researched and charmingly presented volume explores their lives and work, from the first draft sketches to the final illustrations everyone knows and loves and on to the characters' later incarnations at Disney for new generations. Illustrated with excerpts from original manuscripts and drawings, previously unseen draft illustrations, photographs, documents, ephemera, and more, this handsome volume celebrates the childhood classic's incalculable impact on children's literature and children all over the world.
