2 unusual facts about When We Were Very Young


The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil

The title of the song refers to Winnie the Pooh as well as folk singer Fred Neil: parts of the lyric are taken from A. A. Milne's first book of children's poetry When We Were Very Young, including the poem "Halfway Down," which includes the words "Halfway down the stairs Is a stair where I sit" and the poem "Spring Morning."

When We Were Very Young

The book begins with an introduction entitled "Just Before We Begin", which, in part, tells readers to imagine for themselves who the narrator is, and that it might be Christopher Robin.
