This 4-CD box set is an absolute treasure! With stories written by A. A. Milne and narrated by British actor Peter Dennis, this unabridged collection includes 10 full-length Winnie the Pooh stories and a complement of 45 Milne poems. Young listeners are introduced to the world's most beloved ursine character in "Winnie the Pooh and Some Bees," almost catch a woozle in "Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting," and meet a heffalump in "Piglet Meets a Heffalump." The adventures of Winnie, Piglet, Eeyore, and friends conclude with "Christopher Robin Gives a Party and We Say Good-Bye." Dennis's warm, friendly characterizations are impeccable and stay true to the spirit of these gentle original tales about growing up. --Deborah L. Moore --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5 out of 5 stars not out of print!.......2002-11-18

Although I confess to being ALMOST tired of listening to Pooh CONSTANTLY, it is quite a thrill to hear my 5-year old start reciting stories perfectly at the drop of a hat.

5 out of 5 stars Winnie the pooh & when we were very young.......2001-06-11

The Classic Audio Collection Winnie-the-Pooh & When we were very young, Performed by Peter Dennis.

I cannot say enough nice things about this recording. Peter Dennis captures the essence of each character in the Winnie the pooh book. It has captivated all my children since we got our copy in 1997. Even my 9 year old son continues to listen to it at bed time. It is a calm and cheerful reading. Each character's voice is permeated with texture and feeling. So, much so that i wish it were still in print, so that i could get it for so many friends who have young children, and so that i could give each of my children thier own copy. If you have an opportunity to get a copy through used sources and you have young children... Do it, you wont be sorry!!

5 out of 5 stars A MUST for adults and children of all ages!.......1998-11-28

To hear Peter Dennis reading Winnie-the Pooh is to be entranced. You want more and more and no-one else will do. A MUST for adults and children of all ages!

5 out of 5 stars WINNIE-THE-POOH IN PERSON!.......1998-11-26

Once, I had the rare pleasure of actually seeing, hearing, meeting Winnie-the-Pooh in person. Yes, that is, in the person of one Peter Dennis when he performed from Milne's books in Los Angeles. Not only is POOH to be found in the person of Mr. Dennis, but also Eeyore, Piglet, Owl, Christopher Robin, and on and on and on. It must be very crowded in his person, to be sure, but it is also as warm as you would expect the books of A.A. Milne to be.

Alas, if you do not live close enough to Mr. Dennis so that he can introduce you "in person" to the company of Christopher Robin and friends, you're still in luck. His recordings of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories will transport you DIRECTLY to Pooh Corner. But, please: listen to these CDs at home, not in the car, and especially not in traffic! When you hear them, you'll know what I mean.

5 out of 5 stars The best rendition of Milne's words on audio........1998-11-23

Peter Dennis brings magic to the words of A.A. Milne. The original stories unabridged and read with such love and the most extaordinarily meticulous characterization of each of animals. Brilliant! A must for all ages. I'm over 50 and I adore them.
