The Constant Reader on Pooh



There is a funny bit in last week's New Yorker in an article on a children's librarian at the NYC Public Library; it talks about Dorothy Parker in a book review column called 'The Constant Reader' reviewing The House at Pooh Corner.


"Pooh's wasn't just a Good Hum and a Hopeful Hum, Parker noted. It was a hummy hum. "And it is that word 'hummy', my darlings," Parker wrote, "that marks the first place in 'the House at Pooh Corner' at which Tonstant Weader fwowed up."


Well my darlings, in case anyone was drawing a line in the sand, for your information, the Chain Weader never fwowed up on poor Pooh Bear! Chain Weader wuvs Pooh bear. Bery much. So there.
