DESCRIPTION:A. A. Milne's classic tales Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at P
 ooh Corner have delighted readers for nearly a century. The stories' chara
 cters — Pooh\, Tigger\, Eeyore and the rest of the gang — are famous\,
  but how much do we know about the setting\, the Hundred Acre Wood? Join K
 athryn Aalto\, author of the New York Times best-seller\, The Natural Worl
 d of Winnie-the-Pooh\, for a look at what we can learn from studying the i
 ntersection of nature and culture in Winnie-the-Pooh.\n\nKathryn has taken
  thousands of people on nostalgic and vivid journeys into one of the most 
 iconic settings in children's literature. Learn about Milne's extraordinar
 y childhood in the natural world\, conflicts he experienced as a father an
 d author\, and how his creative partnership with illustrator E. H. Shepard
  continues to enchant countless readers. Discover places that inspired the
  stories along with the forest's rare flora and fauna. Part travelogue and
  natural history\, this talk weaves history with humor and birdsong with b
 ooklore as we learn how these masterpieces of children's literature were c
 reated. Leave with a new understanding of how the Winnie-the-Pooh books ar
 e field guides for 21st-century Christopher Robins — hymns to those days
  of doing Nothing yet learning Everything.
