I have chosen the book 'Winnie the Pooh'. I like this book because I grew up reading it and E.H.Shepard is a great illustrator who I have taken a lot of inspiration from. The whole concept of these series of books is really inspirational to me. The published is Methuen & Co Ltd. (London). It was founded in 1889 by Sir Algernon Methuen and began publishing in 1892.
