Having very little brain can be a blessing. Or a curse The Hundred Acre Wood has been part of the consciousness of the world for a very long time. For most of the history of the world, it existed on the fringes of awareness, just there, in the corner of your eye. In the early days of the Twentieth Century, a well-meaning fellow by the name of Alan Milne recorded some of the adventures of the denizens of that fell place, though he did brighten the real stories a bit in order to appeal to the children of the day. Now, those real stories can be told.The dark truth of heffalumps and woozles, what the bees are truly hiding, what happened to all the adults, the story behind Pooh's obsession with hunny, what caused Eeyore's gloomy outlook, why Piglet is truly afraid all the time, why Kanga and Roo really came to the Hundred Acre Wood, what Pooh and Christopher Robin discovered at the North Pole, what caused the great flooding of the Wood, the true purpose for Pooh poetry compositions, the story of Owl's Uncle Robert, and more. These stories, both terrifying and humorous (and sometimes both), can be found in The Horror at Pooh Corner.The veil between insanity and the Hundred Acre Wood is thin, and cosmic horrors and other fell beings frequently cross over. Find here the true stories of how these encounters affect the denizens of the Hundred Acre Wood.
