When successful actor and screenwriter Christopher Milne became a father, he found himself reading bedtime stories to his two boys almost every night. He soon ran out of books, so decided to make up his own stories. He quickly discovered that if he told his kids about very good boys and girls doing very good things all the time, they were bored stupid. As soon as he told them about naughty kids doing poohey, rotten, disgusting things, they would scream for more. He self-published and over a 21-year career sold 600,000 books, won a YABBA and provided a generation of good boys and girls with rip-roaring, belly-aching, stop-it-I-actually-cannot-breathe laughs. With a legacy of 52 best-loved stories for young readers, Christopher Milne joins the fold at Hardie Grant Egmont.
