The Complete Book of Naughty Stories for Good Boys and Girls

Having narrated the story of his life in the first two parts of his autobiography, Christopher Milne turns now to his personal philosophy of life. Looking back on his life, he reviews both the evolution of his response to life's pressures and joys, and the effect of other men's ideas, tracing the development of his commitment to a world where man can learn to live in harmony, not just with his fellow men, but with the whole of creation.

The Search for a Personal Philosophy

The Hollow on the Hill

The need to outgrow one's childhood influences and establish an individual identity is common to us all, but for Christopher Milne it was an especially difficult experience in view of the unique problems he faced as the son of A. A. Milne. In this warm, honest, and often amusing autobiography, he traces the path which, after several wrong turnings, ultimately led him and his wife, Lesley, to establish the successful Harbour Bookshop in Dartmouth - a path which led not to spectacular achievements, but to modest success and contentment. Wise, humble, and philosophical, The Path Through the Trees is Christopher Milne's search as a young man for his own place in life, told with the same sincerity and vividness that distinguished his first book, The Enchanted Places.

Naughty Stories for Good Boys and Girls Number 7

Alasdair Keith

"Edinburgh's a dump made up o' conmen wi' no consciences, vain aristocrats and mindless neds. Quite simply, ye cannae beat it." It couldn't possibly be said that Alexander Durie is normal. - First of all, everybody calls him Shug. - Secondly, he's a crook. - Lastly (and probably most importantly) he's a Burgher. And it's these factors combined which transformed him into: The Man Who Fooled Scotland. 'The Man Who Fooled Scotland' is a contemporary working class novel set in Edinburgh. Told from the perspective of a middle class Englishman, Nigel Banchory, the novel has a fish-out-of-water feel. This, combined with the potent hyperbole utilised by Nigel through the use of a first-person narrative, provides the novel with a rather comedic edge. This, however, belies a darker aspect to the novel. With all possible deference to Robert Tressell, 'The Man Who Fooled Scotland' could be described as a modern-day 'Ragged Trousered Philanthropists'. Social conditions within central-belt Scotland, especially Leith, serve as a constant backdrop to the novel. The author had plenty of material to draw upon before writing this novel, from both personal and familial experience. All of the characters in the novel, including Nigel and Shug, are based on real people or are amalgamations of real people. The novel is largely a catalogue of real events. In writing this novel, the author is endeavouring to share these incidents with the wider public. To show another aspect to Scotland.
