The Path Through the Trees

Christopher Milne

4.9/5 (28409 ratings)

Description:Christopher Milne describes The Path Through the Trees as "the story of a young man who left home, and in one of his pockets he had a handful of talents given him by his mother and in the other a handful given him by his father. What did he do with them? Where did they take him?"These questions could be asked of almost anyone. But the story assumes a special significance in that this young man's father was A. A. Milne, and so he carried with him both the privilege and burden of serving as the model for one of the most famous characters in children's literature. For the many readers who were delighted by Christopher Milne's The Enchanted Places- the memoir of Christopher Robin's childhood - here is the full story of Winnie-the-Pooh's grown-up companion, who escaped from under the shadow of a famous father to become his own man.Mr. Milne begins his story with the onset of World War II, which marked the beginning of his five-year service with the British Army. Milne skillfully describes his experiences as a soldier, which forced him to reexamine and reevaluate many of his earlier ideas and values. Especially moving is his account of the year he spent in Italy after the war was over - his love for that country and for one particular woman there.After the war Milne returned to England where he married and he and his wife, Lesley, opened a bookstore in the small town of Dartmouth in Devon. The story of the acquisition, establishment and success of the store provides the reader with a penetrating look at life as a bookseller in a small English town. Milne shares with the reader the satisfactions such a life has provided him.But his story does not end there. The third part of The Path Through the Trees is Milne's attempt to "find his own answer" - which is made especially poignant because of his relationship with his spastic daughter, Clare - as he turns away from bookselling to devote himself full-time to writing, embarking on a new path through the trees.Christopher Milne lives with his wife and daughter outside the town of Dartmouth, England, where the Milnes own a bookshop.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
