The Rabbits
A.A. Milne
The adventures of a group of friends, pre-war, with far too much time on their hands.
The Rabbits, as they call themselves, are Archie Mannering, his sister Myra, Samuel Simpson, Thomas of the Admiralty, Dahlia Blair and the narrator, with occasional guests. Their conversation is almost entirely frivolous, their activity vacillates between immensely energetic and happily lazy, and their social mores are surprisingly progressive.
As a portrait of charming middle-class play on the brink of being shattered by World War I, they fail entirely to take themselves seriously. “…So here they all are. Whatever their crimes, they assure you that they won’t do it again” – A. A. Milne

Chloe Marr
A.A. Milne
Chloe Marr is young, beautiful and so irresistible that countless people fall in love with her, and friends are drawn to her because of her charm and warmth. In truth nobody really knows anything about her background, and in London society, such mystique carries both allure and suspicion.
But when Chloe’s untimely exodus pulls her from the people around her, they soon realise nobody really knows the truth about anybody else…
A.A. Milne’s ability to portray society is second to none, and this classic novel of an elusive socialite delivers his signature humour and lightness of touch.

Mr Pim
A.A. Milne
Gentle chaos sets in when the absent-minded Mr Pim calls in to see George Marden, owner of Marden House.
George is a fine upstanding citizen and a stickler for doing the right thing. He has a devoted wife, Olivia, and is ward to his somewhat flighty niece, Dinah. Quite innocently, Mr Pim casually announces that he’s recently seen an ex-convict from Australia, named Telworthy.
The only thing is that the character sounds awfully like Olivia’s first and supposedly deceased husband… and if he’s really still alive, then Olivia is a bigamist.
