A.A. Milne

AA Milne full name Alan Alexander Milne was an English children's fiction author best known for writing “Winnie the Pooh” series of children's stories. The author was born to Vince and Sarah Milne in Kilburn, London and grew up at the small public school run by his father. He was privileged enough to be a student of HG Wells who taught at the Henley House School for at least a year.

The best place to start is the Winnie-the-Pooh series, the earliest of A.A. Milne's multi-book series: it opens with When We Were Very Young (1924) and runs to 4 books across 1924–1928, ending with The House at Pooh Corner (1928). A.A. Milne's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.

A.A. Milne has 122 books catalogued in this guide, published between 1905 and 2019. 59 of them belong to 3 named series — the largest being the Disney's My Very First Winnie the Pooh series with 42 books — and 63 are standalone titles, collections or anthologies.

Read each series in publication order — the numbered entries in each series follow the year each book first appeared. A.A. Milne's series do not depend on one another, so they can be started in any order; by start date they are Winnie-the-Pooh (1924–1928, 4 books), Winnie-the-Pooh Collection (1926–2008, 13 books) and Disney's My Very First Winnie the Pooh (1973–2003, 42 books).

This guide splits A.A. Milne's 122 books into 3 named series and 63 titles that stand alone or appear only in collections: Disney's My Very First Winnie the Pooh (42 books, 1973–2003); Winnie-the-Pooh Collection (13 books, 1926–2008); Winnie-the-Pooh (4 books, 1924–1928).
