Fans of A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard's creation, Winnie the Pooh, will enjoy an updated version of 'Edward Bear'. Done as the original print book was released, this book contains 11 stories that was written to be separate stand alone stories. The stories contain familiar characters with a very modern twist, but still remain true to the original material. This is NOT a reprint of the original stories, but new stories. It also introduces several original new characters to the 'Wood". The artwork was hand-drawn (with the exception of a couple of pictures done by A.I.) however, like the original anthology from 1926, the artwork was colored by hand, adding an organic and classic feel to this modernization. The stories are fun and insightful without being 'preachy'. This 195 page book is a classic waiting to happen.
