Now We Are Six
À propos de ce livre audio
Blackstone Audio presents, from the unabridged collection "A.A. Milne's Pooh Classics," the thirty-five poems and verses from Now We Are Six performed by Peter Dennis. This is the only reading of these delightful verses authorized by A.A. Milne's son, Christopher Robin.
The verses here, along with those in When We Were Very Young and the stories in Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, have endeared themselves to so many readers that it is painful to try to imagine what the world would be like without them.
The perfect book for that all-important birthday, Now We Are Six is much more than a worthy successor to When We Were Young; it is a modern classic in its own right.

Quelques mots sur l'auteur
A. A. Milne (1882-1956) is an author best known for his creation of Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and the other beloved creatures of the Hundred Acre Wood. A veteran of both World Wars, he was also a noted playwright and author of nonfiction, novels, and poetry.
Actor Peter Dennis narrates the Pooh audiobooks. His intimate thirty-year association with the Pooh related works of A. A. Milne has resulted in numerous stage appearances and audio recordings, from a bicontinental tour of his one man show Bother! based on selections from the four Winnie-the-Pooh books to his comprehensive Blackstone Audio recordings. He was a graduate of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, played leading roles in London’s West End and throughout the UK, and was a guest star on many television series in the United States, including Friends, Seinfeld, ER, and Star Trek: Voyager. A longtime friend of the Milne family, Peter passed away in spring of 2009. His last recording, The Path through the Trees, was a gift to Clare Milne, Christopher and Lesley’s Milne’s only child.
