NYRB is the North American distributor for the UK publisher Notting Hill Editions, who put out beautiful, clothbound pocket-sized books. This fall, they release a unique travel memoir of the Amazon from the neurologist A.J. Lees and a collection of journalism from Winnie-the-Pooh’s A.A. Milne.
A.J. Lees, Brazil That Never Was(September)
As a child, Andrew Lees became obsessed with the British explorer Percy Fawcett, who disappeared in search of a lost Amazonian city. Years later, he followed in his footsteps—and discovered Fawcett’s quest was far stranger than he ever could have anticipated. Brazil That Never Was is part travelogue and part memoir, and a testament to the pitfalls of nostalgia.
A.A. Milne, Happy Half Hours: Selected Writings(October)
BeforeWinnie-the-Pooh, A.A. Milne was a notable writer of plays, novels, verse, and journalism. Happy Half Hours collects the best of his articles for the humor magazine Punch, ranging from the year 1910 to 1952 and on everything from lost hats and umbrellas, tennis, dogs, and faulty geysers to cheap cigars.
Just a few quotes by some famous INFPs that represent the INFP personality type so well. Unsurprisingly, some of the most inspirational and profound quotes and writings have come from INFPs.

Today Winnie-the-Pooh was voted the UK’s best loved childhood book character. The survey, which was commissioned by the Reading Agency, saw Pooh triumph over stiff competition from Harry Potter, Bilbo Baggins, George (from The Famous Five) Matilda (Roald Dahl), and Lucy Pevensie (from C. S. Lewis’ Narnia books), among others!
Fly high Pooh-bear!

A new year means a new batch of books have entered the public domain. Currently in the United States, a book’s copyright expires 95 years after its publication. In 2022, books from 1926 entered the public domain, which means that they are free to copy and use without permission. One of the U.S.’s newest public domain books is Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne. Now that it is no longer under copyright, it is more likely to be digitized online and the story is more likely to be reimagined as new books, movies, and other creative endeavors. However, Disney’s Winnie the Pooh movies and trademark are not included in the public domain.
Pictured is our copy of the 1926 publication of Winnie-the-Pooh, signed by the author, A.A. Milne, and the illustrator, Ernest H. Shepard.
