About Return to the Hundred Acre Wood
It was eighty years ago, found on the publication of The Home at Pooh Corner, when Christopher Robin mentioned good-bye to Winnie-the-Pooh and his neighbors in the Hundred Acre Wood. Then they are all back in fresh adventures, for the first-time approved by the Trustees of the Pooh Properties. This really is a companion amount that really captures the design of A. A. Milne-a worthy sequel to The Home at Pooh Corner and Winnie-the-Pooh.
About David Benedictus
David Benedictus has been virtually everywhere and performed virtually everything. In this irreverent memoir we receive his tumultuous existence at Eton, his strange job as a tutor to the Rothschilds, the planet of BBC drama inthe ideal days of the Wednesday Play, filming in New York with Coppola, functioning in the explosion of fringe theatre in the sixties, assistant to Trevor Nunn at the RSC, commissioning editor creating videos at Channel 4, and running the Book At Bedtime for BBC Radio. He interviewed Judy Garland, and attended an educational orgy in San Francisco. He chatted up the Rolling Stones, whom he had failed to recognise, and gave a party for Tom Jones's initially golden disc. Paul McCartney came to his party and chatted up his auntie. He was a tour-guide in London, and the director of the initial Amnesty Celebrity concerts.
He guided virtually every actor of note, from Gielgud to the prickly Berkoff, from O'Toole to Ralph Fiennes, and his dog was responsible for Judi Dench getting married. He had his portrait painted by John Bratby, who mistakenly thought him 'among the amazing thinkers of the 20th Century' and sat between Susan George and Olivia Newton-John at the cinema. This really is a book with anything to entertain and enrage simply about everybody. Its final controversial chapter deals with all the last 2 years during which he has been training drama to the posh females at Putney High School. |
