To those who've criticised the audio quality on Milne's voice: the audio restoration was done in around 1995, with the very earliest Dart Pro32 software then available. Much better results are possible now, but this clip recently had a complaint from someone who claimed copyright on it. If it causes me any more grief, I'll simply remove it. Christian - I also am a professional audio restoration engineer, worked for EMI and Australia's National Film and Sound Archive.
That’s insane that anyone would complain. I too have worked in audio (actually doing some stingers for a TV show this very moment) and I told the person who sent this to me how I was amazed it sounds this good.
Remembering A. A. Milne born on January 18, 1882. He was an English writer best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh, as well as for children's poetry. Milne was primarily a playwright before the huge success of Winnie-the-Pooh overshadowed all his previous work. Milne served in both World Wars, as a lieutenant in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment in the First World War and as a captain in the Home Guard in the Second World War. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._A._Milne
You might want to read Christopher Milne's book The Enchanted Places. He said his father wasn't really good with young children, and they didn't become close until he got to be about 10 years old.
This is the most delightful children's story recording by AA Milne. Probably the best recordings since the BBC phased out "Children's Hour" - are there any more like this around on dusty shelves?
This is a real treasure. Just magic. Pooh doesn't get any better than this. Thank you so much. And as a collector of 78s the audio quality is very good or should I say just right. Thank you so much.
Thankyou this is wonderful and as a collector of poetry records and a videographer no where near as skilled as you at processing 78's I know what a great you have done in presenting this recording with such clarity,although I like to hear 78's in all their wonderful scratchiness. I would love to hear some classic Australian poetry on 78 if have any,another recording I would die to hear is "The Listeners" recited by Walter De la mare Thanks Kind Regards Jim Clark
Interestingly, with the two criticisms received on the audio quality of this clip, one offered to "give this clip greater filtering" owing to "its hiss and low level"; while the other criticised it for "gross and excessive filtering". Interesting - and laughable. Perhaps if you criticise those who play early recordings on youtube in a grossly distorted and damaging way on wind-up gramophones, your critiques would be more productive.
Just watched the movie, Goodbye Christopher Robin and was hoping to find the original author's narration or this classic childhood story. Thanks and Peace from New Orleans!
Does anybody out there have this recording of the real Christopher Robin Milne singing appreciating poems from Now We Are Six?: ua-cam.com/video/Yg8x3QDW4pM/v-deo.html I'd love to hear it in better quality.

The sound quality is astonishingly good for a recording made in 1929.

any idea who claimed copyright? They are in a very grey area when going back 95 years.

I have an actual record of this.
Does anyone know where I can find a good documentary on Milne? I would love to learn more about his relationship with his son.

New movie just about your subject coming this fall
The movie based on his life story with his son is 'Goodbye Christopher'
I would recommend Ann Thwaite's biography of Milne. It's much more unbiased and allows the reader to make their own conclusions.

Wondered what Milne Looked and sounded like ! This is the original reading! Awesome!

Thank you not only for an historic document, but one which despite its age still manages to give us great pleasure.
A real treasure - this is historic. Thanks a lot for posting! :)
I funny that a actual child book, written for children.

Children are our best teachers

This is very good and precious! Don't worry about the criticism! People nowadays don't appreciate others much anymore.. Thanks for your hard work
On my equipment the sound is brilliant - thank you for this!
He sounds like Oliver Postgate!
What a treat this was!

I couldn´t agree more!
Great piece of history thank you.

Just brilliant! The only good Winnie the Pooh voices are Milne, Maurice Evans and Willie Rushton
Thank you, this is awesome!

I'd love to hear it in better quality.
Wonderful upload! Halfway through, when he started to speak in a more rapid, clipped way, I realised who he reminded me of - Sir Patrick Moore!
Wonderful! Thank you
this is amazing
I love the last pic.
That is legitimate.
I go to this school
1:13 GOD! He looks so creepy!
