Alan Alexander Milne (1882Ð1956) was an English playwright, poet, and novelist. Although he first gained attention for articles and poems written for the humor magazine ÒPunchÓ before World War I, he always insisted on writing what pleased him, rather than what his publishers demanded.

Milne is best known today for the four books inspired by his son Christopher RobinÕs life as a child. ÒWhen We Were Very YoungÓ (1924) and ÒNow We Are SixÓ (1927) are poetry collections. (Several poems from the former were set to music by Harold Fraser-Simson.) ÒWinnie-the-PoohÓ (1926) and ÒThe House at Pooh CornerÓ (1928) are stories about Christopher RobinÕs stuffed animals and their adventures in and around the Hundred Acre Woods.

This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).
