Piglet Meets a Heffalump is one of the most memorable and gently comic episodes from Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), focusing on Piglet’s anxious bravery when he believes he has encountered a fearsome “Heffalump.”
Through Piglet’s vivid imagination and Pooh’s earnest companionship, A. A. Milne explores childhood fears, courage, and the comfort of friendship. Ernest Shepard’s classic illustrations—here presented in colour—beautifully convey the blend of humour and tenderness that has made Piglet one of literature’s most beloved characters.
Issued as part of The Original Pooh Treasury, this edition was designed as a keepsake presentation volume, appealing equally to young readers, collectors of classic children’s literature, and nostalgic gift buyers.
The story and original line illustrations are taken from Winnie-the-Pooh (1926).
This presentation edition carries a 1990 copyright by Dutton Children’s Books, with colouring of illustrations originally copyrighted in 1973 by Ernest H. Shepard and Methuen Children’s Books Ltd. Printed and bound in Italy.
