"A pencil drawing, captioned: Climbing very cautiously up the stream, shows Pooh and his adventure-loving friends Christopher Robin, Piglet and Owl. It was intended for Chapter VIII, in which Christopher Robin leads an expedition to the north pole."

Two previously unseen pencil sketches of Winnie-the-Pooh by E H Shepard have been revealed to celebrate the centenary of the beloved book.

The sketches will be displayed at Peter Harrington Rare Books in London starting April 17, showcasing the evolution of these iconic characters.
