New York, New York, U.S.A.: E.P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1957. First, Thus . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Shepard, E. H. . Lovely vintage boxed hardcover set from 1957 has 2 books: "The World of Pooh" marks the first appearance in one volume of two classic Pooh stories-- "Winnie-the-Pooh" (1926) & "The House at Pooh Corner" (1928). Likewise for "The World of Christopher Robin," which contains both "When We Were Young" (1924) & "Now We Are Six" (1927).Both volumes were also unique in that they contained "decorations & new illustrations by E. H. Shepard, " comprising both full-page color plates, smaller pen-and-ink drawings, & colorful map endpapers showing the layout of the Hundred Acre Wood ("Pooh") & character from the tales ("Christopher Robin"). In 314 & 234 pages, respectively, each hardcover 8vo (6.50" x 9.25") is bound in light cloth (Pooh = tan, Christopher = blue) over boards, stamped with Shepard illustrations to front & lettering to spine.
