Available for the first time, all sixty-seven songs composed by Harold Fraser-Simson (1872–1944) to the famous poetry of A.A. Milne.

When we were very young, Now we are Six, Winnie the Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner are all represented on the album along with a complete recording of the pantomime The King's Breakfast.

Also on the album are the collection of eight songs Fraser-Simson wrote using the words of Lewis Carroll from Alice in Wonderland.

This album spans well-known settings (Buckingham Palace, Halfway Down, Cottleston Pie and Vespers) to unknown and previously unrecorded works. A wonderful nostalgia trip for those familiar with some of these songs from their youth and a brilliant album to listen along with children. Volante Opera Productions is proud to be able to release this comprehensive collection so that future generations will be able to listen to and enjoy a piece of British musical history that otherwise would be lost to time.

Recorded by a team of seven singers (Julian Boyce, Simon Crosby Buttle, Helen Greenaway, Rosie Hay, Philip Lloyd-Evans, Francesca Saracino and Stephen Wells) and pianist Frederick Brown – all of whom appear by arrangement with Welsh National Opera.
