When we were very young

A gentle, whimsical collection of verses invites listeners into the playful world of a curious child named Christopher Robin and his imaginative companions. The poems mingle ordinary street scenes with fanciful characters—a swan christened “Pooh,” a mysterious youngster called Hoo, and even a guard‑changing ceremony at Buckingham Palace—creating a charming blend of the familiar and the fantastical. Each piece feels like a spontaneous note taken while wandering through everyday life, capturing the delight of discovering rhyme in the simplest moments.

The narrator’s light‑hearted commentary adds a layer of warmth, as the writer explains how these verses sprang from friendship and spontaneous observation. Listeners will hear the rhythmic “tweet‑tweet‑tweet” of passing feet, the soft murmur of a lake, and the cheerful banter of children at play. It’s an invitation to recall the wonder of childhood, making the book a tender listen for both young ears and the young‑at‑heart.
