Winnie-the-Pooh by AA Milne
This is the book that lives deep in the heart of me—the one that made me realise, all those years ago, that reading is flipping brilliant—kicking off a lifelong love affair with books and stories. I don’t think anyone has ever captured the sparkling imagination of small children as well as Milne and his little fuzzy bear with a serious honey addiction. In a serious lapse of judgement, I agreed to do Celebrity Mastermind a few years ago and Milne was my specialist subject. Even after going through that particular horror, I still love the stories. Best. Book. Ever.
