When We Were Very Young is a best-selling book of poetry by A. A. Milne and illustrated by E H Shepard, with a total of forty-five poems.
Only one poem actually contains Winnie the Pooh (under his other name, Mr. Edward Bear) in which Pooh comes face to face with a plump man; he thought that man is the king of France.
