Synopsis

Pooh and the Philosophers is a book by John Tyerman Williams, published by Dutton, 1996, using A.A. Milne's character Winnie the Pooh and a part of the "Wisdom of Pooh" series. It is not a fictional storybook like many of the Pooh novels but tells of how all of Western philosophy from the last 3000 years is the long preparation for Winnie the pooh. The book is both humorous and intellectual whether the author intended it to be or not.
