Winnie the Pooh

One hundred years old, and there is still nothing quite like it. Pooh and his honey, Piglet and his small brave heart, Eeyore being gently, philosophically gloomy in his corner of the wood. This anniversary edition, with E.H. Shepard's original illustrations in full colour on that deep blue and gold cover, is the one to give and the one to keep.

We love it because:

• A.A. Milne's writing is as funny and tender and quietly wise as it has ever been, the kind of story that works just as well read aloud to a three-year-old as it does revisited by a grown-up who needs a moment of calm
• E.H. Shepard's illustrations in colour are just beautiful: warm, gentle and completely irreplaceable. Nobody has ever drawn the Hundred Acre Wood better and nobody ever will
• The 100th anniversary edition feels genuinely special: a proper hardback, a cover worth admiring, a book that looks as important as it is
• The kind of gift that lands with parents just as much as children. Sometimes more
