‘“Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!” said Piglet to himself. And he wanted to run away. But somehow having got so near, he felt that he must just see what a Heffalump was like.’

Pooh and Piglet decide to catch a Heffalump together, but when Piglet meets one in the middle of the night, he realises that catching Heffalumps is much easier with two.

Now available as an individual storybook with E.H. Shepard’s illustrations.This story first appeared in A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh, accompanied by E. H. Shepard’s original illustrations.

About the Author
Alan Alexander "A.A." Milne (18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was the author of the original Winnie the Pooh series of books, illustrated by E.H. Shepard. These books included the original Winnie-the-Pooh, as well as The House at Pooh Corner. Milne was also noted novelist, poet and playwright, though he remains to a large degree most widely known for the stories he wrote for his son, Christopher Robin Milne, about a "tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff" named Winnie the Pooh. The characters in the story were based on Christopher's toys.

About the Illustrator
Ernest Howard Shepard OBE, MC (10 December 1879 – 24 March 1976) was an English artist and book illustrator. He was known especially for his illustrations of anthropomorphic characters in The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame and Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne.

A. A. Milne

A.A. Milne grew up in a school his parents ran Henley House in Kilburn, for young boys but never intended to be a children's writer. Pooh he saw as a pleasant sideline to his main career as a playwright and regular scribe for the satirical literary magazine, Punch. Observations of little Christopher led Milne to produce a book of children's poetry, When We Were Very Young, in 1924, and in 1926 the seminal Winnie-the-Pooh.

More poems followed in Now We Are Six (1927) and Pooh returned in The House at Pooh Corner (1928). After that, in spite of enthusiastic demand, Milne declined to write any more children's stories as he felt that, with his son growing up, they would now only be copies based on a memory.

In one way, Christopher Robin turned out to be more famous than his father, though he became uncomfortable with his fame as he got older, preferring to avoid the literary limelight and run a bookshop in Dartmouth. Nevertheless, he published three volumes of his reminiscences before his death in 1996.

E. H. Shepard

E.H. Shepard was born in London in 1879. He was a cartoonist and illustrator and went on to draw the original illustrations to accompany Milne's classic stories, earning him the name 'the man who drew Pooh'.
