Best Bear in All the World
(Egmont, £14.99)
This October marks the 90th anniversary of the publication of AA Milne’s Winniethe-Pooh. To celebrate, and take financial advantage, the publisher Egmont has produced a sequel to the original series entitled Best Bear in All the World. Within its lavish gold covers, the Best Bear contains four new stories by Paul Bright, Brian Sibley, Kate Saunders and Jeanne Willis, with accompanying illustrations by Mark Burgess in the style of EH Shepard. A new character, Penguin, joins the usual suspects from the Hundred Acre Wood.
