Recently we watched Goodbye Christopher Robin and I recommend it if you are thinking of visiting this exhibition as they go so well together. I have to hold my hand up and say that I own several of the Pooh books and think the illustrations are just wonderful so I was always going to be a big fan of this one. The illustrations are central to the show and you see several versions of the Shepard drawings or read a note that highlights the detail you may have missed eg Piglet holding Pooh’s leg as the gaps in the bridge railings would let him slip through and Christopher Robin’s shoe falling off his heel. It is a lovely exhibition, bigger than you would expect, with the river and bridge mocked up on the middle. And full of adults.
