Pooh, Pooh

A former Channel Four commissioning editor and BBC radio producer - tiddley pom - has decided that there is not enough literary parasitism in the world, and that what the world needs now is further adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh. Return to the Hundred Acre Wood will be published in October, both in the UK and at Disneyland. A representative of the Trustees of the Pooh Properties said that the sequel has "captured the spirit and quality of those original books", which apparently are "one of the greatest celebrations of childhood in any language", tiddley pom. The sequel's author hopes that his parasite will "both complement and maintain Milne's idea that whatever happens, a little boy and his bear will always be playing"; as of this moment it is in any case certain that, on at least one side of the Atlantic, at least one Tonstant Weader is already fwowing up.
