The House at Pooh Corner, by A. A. Milne. First edition, first impression, of the final Pooh book. London: Methuen & Co. Ltd, 1928. Octavo, xii (last blank), 178 numbered pages with numerous illustrations plus endpaper illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard. Gilt-decorated cloth, top edge gilt.

Rubbing to extremities with wear to joints, heavily tanned spine with some staining and marking to covers, gilt decoration a tad worn and scratched, spine ends chipped and frayed, edges tanned with a little foxing. Pages a little tanned with a few grubby thumb marks and the odd spot of foxing, none affecting text and illustrations. Some offsetting to both front and rear endpapers. Binding fragile with a few shallow breaks throughout, but none of the pages are loose. Otherwise a clean and uninscribed copy.

A somewhat poor copy, collated as complete of the first Milne book that introduces both Tigger and the game of Poohsticks. Milne had bought his son a stuffed tiger, "Tigger", and told Shepard that he was longing to see the illustrations for this new character, who would become one of the author's most popular creations.
