What fun! We usually celebrated AA Milne's birthday (the 18th) by reading from the Pooh books and making honey cakes or cookies.

Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind. Therefore do not use compulsion, but let early education be a sort of amusement; you will then be better able to discover the child's natural bent .
