Summary, as promised.

----------------------
A. A. Milne, best known as the creator of Winnie the Pooh, was a prolific author of books, plays, essays and articles. He also spent a number of years editing for Punch Magazine. He even wrote a good detective story -- The Red House Mystery !

In this collection he addresses a vast range of issues, including: the essence of melodrama; the lingering effects of World War I; knowing geography versus owning an atlas; a new kind of haunted house; the inexplicable nature of high finance; the trouble with "experts;" how the life of bees suggests the social importance of artists; the bad influence of theatre critics on good theatre.

All of these short pieces are humorous. Many are informative. Taken together, they will inspire many to navigate over to Milne's five other book-length humorous collections: Happy Days, The Holiday Round, Not That It Matters, Once a Week, and The Sunny Side -- or, perhaps, to The Red House Mystery.

----------------------------



Dave, I thought about linking to Milne's other five humorous collections, but I can't see how -- because I came along and created 2nd versions of four of them. What say you?

Hi Tricia,

I added the LV disclaimer to Sections 17 and 30, loaded them in MW.

:wink:

Thanks again for your exquisite DPL.

When you liked the Math section I almost, but didn't quite, wrote back that I'm sorta that type too -- I'm from MIT.

Local joke: kid goes into grocery store, buys lots of food, goes to express checkout counter ... check-out person says "What are you, from Harvard and can't count? Or from MIT and can't read?"

Finally, I think I'm going to finish my Milne collection by recording a second version of Once a Week. Would you have time to DPL? (I know, I know -- I've made an appointment with a psychologist to see about it... :? )

Dave,

You may have read below that I asked Tricia if she's DPL a second version of the final collection of Milne articles -- Once A Week. Would you MC?

Thanks, both of you, for helping me complete the Kirsten's Milne oevre!

Tricia -- I'll start posting probably this weekend, but not many sections. They're all long and not so easy as the other Milne pieces. So I won't be flooding you with PL work -- which -- in any case -- as you know:

I'm more than happy to wait for!
