Kristie Macrakis (1958–2022)

Narrated by The Great Jim Dale. I haven't read the original Pooh books in decades but from what I remember, this revisitation seems to have the same gentle spirit and tone of the originals, right down to Christopher Robin affectionately saying "silly old bear" and Pooh's impromptu hums. Each story stands alone as a bedtime read.

A mass of interesting data struggle desperately to survive a disjointed presentation. A reader who puts in sufficient effort will learn much about how real Cold War spies operated and a bit about why East Germany's attempt to create a world-class scientific and technological establishment through theft didn't succeed.
