very dry
Why not combine all three volumes without editing? You see, not everyone is concerned merely with either the Pooh Books or the boy who inspired the character Christopher Robin. I should know. Christopher Robin was not merely a character I enjoyed; he was my childhood alter ego, to a degree many of my readers may find hard to imagine. And yet, I knew there was a real boy behind the story, that he and I were much alike on many fundamental levels, and that I would be much interested in learning more about him. When I bought Christopher Milne's original volumes, I was happily flabbergasted to see how dead-on my intuition about him had been. Both as children and as adults, we indeed had much in common, and quite likely would have been good friends had we grown up in the same time and place. I am far from being the pantheistic humanist that Christopher Milne became, or that A.A. Milne was before him. He says, candidly, that he never met the Christian God he heard about in church. But had I not become a Christian, I too would have become a pantheistic humanist, and for very similar reasons. I can sympathize with his viewpoint, even if I believe I can refute it. All in all, I found the original trilogy enjoyable and even challenging reading, and I'm sure I'd find the "condensed version" so as well. (Now if only someone could show me Lesley Milne's introduction to this volume...)
Tedious and abrupt The first book was interesting; so muchso that I was quite annoyed that so much of it had been edited out.Obviously, the first book, in which Milne tells us what it was like to bethe real Christopher Robin, was always going to be the most appealing;everyone wants to know about where Pooh really came from and what he andC.R. really got up to in the Hundred Acre Wood. But as "Beyond the worldof Pooh" progressed it got more and more aimless and uninteresting. OnceMilne has told us (in barely more than a few paragraphs in this edition) ofhis wartime exploits, and then how he went on to open his bookshop, there'snot much more to tell. He appears to promise to tell us about hisrelationship with his handicapped daughter, but never delivers; a missedopportunity to bring some life into the story. Nothing much happens, andthe book stagnates. Of course, it was Milne's right, after a lifetime ofbeing branded with the "Christopher Robin is saying his prayers" image ofhim created by the media, to retire to a quiet and uneventful life. Butdid he have to write a book about it? ... Read more |

Editorial Review Book Description Customer Reviews (2)
A little disappointing, depending on what you're looking for It is entertaining for the first while, but generally not very illustrative. As the previous reviewer said, the more you know about shools of psychological theory the more you will enjoy the book. But if you are looking to either learn something about psychological theory OR looking for images and anologies that illustrate concepts in a striking or perceptive way, this is not the best book. It is entertaining, but it can get old if you are not careful. The tone is very tongue-in-cheek, I had some good chuckles. The kick of the book is looking at the world of the Hundred Acre Wood through such over-the-top scholarly eyes. There is an "inside tone" to his dialog with the reader: sort of a "uninformed and unstudied individuals fail to appreciate this, but you and I can clearly see..." attitude runs through the entire book. I enjoyed that in the first few chapters, but after a while the joke got old. To be fair, I did read this in just a couple long sessions in just a couple days. It may be enjoyed more as a nightstand book where you read a chapter or two every few days. In terms of learning anything new from the book, one is not likely to get more than a few nuggets of information about one theorist or another. The book is orgainized more by character and story than by psychological concept, so one never really gets to see a school of thought fleshed out in a way that enhances your understanding of it. But, if that's not why you're reading the book, you won't experience it as a short-coming. It is a fun book, especially if you LOVE Pooh or psychology. If you love and know a lot about both this could be a good, light read to nibble on before bed or over lunch.
Satirical Ursinological Scholarship! In Freud-like fashion, Dr. Williams begins by descrbing the case for Winnie-the-Pooh being a super psychologist.The thrust of this argument is that Winnie employs every method ever recommended by any psychologist or psychoanalyst somewhere in his fictional adventures.In fact, he often combines them in a single fictional encounter. The book then recounts seven cases and Winnie's role in them. Case 1 -- Pooh Cures Christopher Robin of Arktophobia (fear of bears) Case 2 -- Pooh Assists Piglet to Mature Case 3 -- Pooh at His Most Eclectic with Tigger Case 4 -- The Problem with Rabbit Case 5 -- Parenting:Kanga and Roo Case 6 -- Wol's Problems with Communication Case 7 -- Eeyore:A Case of Classical Depression The cases are written up like Freud's with the exception that they are illustrated with many drawings from the original Pooh stories. As an example of the approach, the book Winnie-the-Pooh opens with a reference to his living under the name of Sanders.That is never mentioned again.Dr. Williams provides a lengthy argument in favor of this meaning that Winnie-the-Pooh is describing himself as the Sand man, the bringer of dreams.This is an indication of his role as psychotherapist. In the famous story where Winnie eats too much honey and cannot get out of the hole in the tree, Dr. Williams reinterprets this as Winnie-the-Pooh making an example of himself to discourage others from overeating rather than using aversion therapy on them. To put this prescience into context, Dr. Williams points out that the Pooh stories date in the 1920s.In the text, he finds "frequent anticipation of theories and practices which more plodding psychologists arrived at much later." I don't know about you, but I didn't think much about Jung when I read Winnie-the-Pooh.Obviously, the references were too subtle for me. Those who have experienced psychotherapy will probably find humor in the observations made about Winnie-the-Pooh that they may have heard applied to themselves.Could the observations be equally apt? This book is best enjoyed by a roaring fire on a cold night with a warmed snifter of brandy, and savored slowly. After you have finished the book, you might consider the many instances where novels do show ways to solve psychological problems through their fictional developments.Could it be that we can use fiction to be our own therapist?Or, is someone else the therapist?If someone gave you the book, perhaps they are the therapist.If so, is the author the propounder of the theory . . . or is the character? See the possibilities for humor in pomposity everywhere! ... Read more |

Enchanted book.... Winnie the Pooh, Piglet and all their friends have been family friends of us for a long time, and it was a treat to find this book about Christopher Robin, and be able to read about what it was like to be him. Did he really have a bear named Winniw the Pooh, did the Hundred Acre Wood excist, did he and Pooh play on Poohstick Bridge? What a fantastic childhood he must have had? Of course the imagination in my mind was not all correct, at least not the fantastic childhood part. In this book Christopher Milne tells us from his heart how it was to be the son of A.A.Milne, the creator of all our childhood friends. The book is written with alot of charm, but we can also read between the lines about the negative effects of being a "famous" child, a boy with a childhood who belonged to, and still belong to the whole world. If you know Winnie the Pooh, and who doesn't, this book is a little diamond, a book full of great details, a book which gives a unique view of the Christopher Robin myth. Britt Arnhild Lindland
Reading this book was a rare privilege for me... I have a specialinterest in this book because Christopher Robin, of all the characters, wasmy favorite -- indeed, my alter ego. I knew from an early age that therewas a real boy behind the fictional character, and I sensed the three of uswere a lot alike. It was a delight to find out just how right my intuitionwas.
