From Toad Hall to Pooh Corner
From: 12/07/2008 - To: 30/06/2009 
Amble down to Seven Stories this summer and you’ll be sure to stumble across some old friends and familiar faces. With Badger, Mole and Ratty, and Eeyore, Piglet and Pooh visitors can experience a day away in the country, without leaving the city at all.  
A celebration of classic childhood tales, From Toad Hall to Pooh Corner explores Kenneth Graham’s The Wind in the Willows (1908), re-illustrated to mark its Centenary by Robert Ingpen, and AA Milne’s timeless Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), and The House at Pooh Corner (1928), illustrated by E H Shepard. See these classics brought to life for a new generation as you walk through the pages of this literary adventure.

Journey through the idyllic countryside where friendship and adventure walk hand-in-hand. Take a ride in Toad’s car or cosy up in Badger’s Kitchen before dropping by Winnie-the-Pooh’s house for a story and a spot of honey. Are you brave enough to tunnel through the Wild Wood? Watch out for the weasels, not to mention the Heffalumps and Woozles!

To celebrate the launch of From Toad Hall to Pooh Corner Seven Stories are messing about by the river this summer with a fun-packed programme of events to while away those summer days.

Take a storytrail down to the river, help build a willow boat or let your imagination run wild with open floor storytelling and crafts. With illustration and creative writing workshops, and a special drama event with Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson, climb aboard for a summer of fun designed to spark your own stories.
