Published after his four Winnie-the-Pooh books, this work represents Milne’s return to adult-oriented fiction and literary pursuits. By 1929, he was already immortalised as the creator of Pooh, yet The Secret and Other Stories reminds us that Milne was also a serious literary craftsman.

The Fountain Press’s choice to issue it in a fine, limited format underscores its intended audience: discerning readers and collectors rather than the mass market.
