I've always enjoyed reading A.A. Milne. There has been such a wide variety that it always seemed that he wrote only want he wanted to write*, and in the introduction to his autobiography I found confirmation of that:
Quote:
|
In this book, as in everything which I have written, I have humoured the author. Whatever happens to the public, the author is not going to be bored. I have enjoyed looking back on the past, and if others now find enjoyment in looking over my shoulder, I am as glad as my publishers will be. But let us be quite clear that this is my party, not theirs.

-- A.A. Milne,
It's Too Late Now, 1939.
* As someone that writes mostly for my own enjoyment, publishing only when it seems like it might be good enough to share, this always sat very well with me.
