Book Name: The Red House Mystery
Book Author: A.A Milne
Have you heard of Winnie the Pooh? Sure you have! You'd have seen him, at least, peering out of a hidey-hole in one of your storybooks, or referred to in a literary context. He's a rotund, ever-smiling, yellow bear, who usually wears a red shirt and blue shorts and doesn't bother to change. And if I've got the attire wrong, it's because it doesn't matter. That speaks for itself, doesn't it? Winnie-the-Pooh is a simple fellow.
Who created this pally, enthusiastic, honey-loving bear? The chap's name is Alexander Alan Milne, commonly referred to as A.A. Milne. Not a frilly man himself, Milne has concocted several other lucid, easy characters who are lovable by virtue of their sheer honesty, if not anything else. An excellent storyteller, Milne's style of writing is light, simple and guileless. You aren't deceived- instead, you are handheld for as long as it's possible and then you can let go. Winnie the Pooh's sound enough, but his characteristic subtle, humorous style is consistent in his other works, too. If you don't believe me, pop into a library and pick up 'Selected Stories by A.A. Milne' or 'The Red House Mystery'- his only ever mystery novel. You will be in for a delightful and very pleasant ride.
A connoisseur of British English, Mr. Milne has winged his stories, what? The naturalistic feel is omnipresent. By introducing you to it in the beginning, he doesn't allow you to part with it at all! And it feels beautiful! There are subtle nuances that shift the focus from overbearing characters, and there are hardly any 'flat' characters. By reflecting the nature of each partaker in the drama through dialogues, it's very becoming and natural, and you can rotate the character like a doll in a 360 degree frame and see the different sides of him or her. All of this, as aforementioned, without deception. Oh! No writer deceives the reader. But sir here, certainly hasn't deceived himself, either.
The pace is perfect and cosy. Not too much, not too less.
I'd say there were no faux pas, and fully endorse the 'Light and Guileless' genre!
