A. A. Milne 3 hr 59 min read

A tale of kings and princesses, seven-league boots, and a magical ring, told with sly wit for the amusement of grown-ups as much as children, in a kingdom once upon a time.

A. A. Milne's 1915 novel, by the future creator of Winnie-the-Pooh, is a charming, tongue-in-cheek fairy-tale fantasy. Whimsical, clever, delightful. Read it for a beguiling grown-up fairy story from a master of gentle humor, full of enchantment and knowing fun.
