SHEPARD (E.H.)

MILNE'S WINNIE-THE-POOH, which celebrates its centenary this year. Piglet is wishing to himself that Kanga couldn't jump the way she does: 'Often, when he had had a long walk home through the Forest, he had wished that he were a bird; but now he thought jerkily to himself at the bottom of Kanga's pocket, 'If this is flying, I shall never really take to it.' And as he went up in the air he said, 'Ooooooo!' and as he came down he said, 'Ow!' And he was saying, 'Ooooooo-ow, ooooooo-ow, ooooooo-ow' all the way to Kanga's house.' Provenance: Ethel Shepard (1876-1941), the artist's sister; given by her to Dr. Henry Woodroffe, a doctor of medicine; thence by descent.
