More than anything, it is just a simple gift item for Whovians, as well as those who love children’s poetry and literature. The illustrations are actually much more enjoyable than the verse, and Lisa is hoping to see them pop up on tees, mugs or other items. Lisa suggests picking up the original first for those who haven’t read Milne’s poems. “The Three Foxes,” in the original, for example, becomes “The Five Doctors.” Readers who aren’t huge Doctor Who fans, or who might not have read the original verses, may find it a little confusing to follow. Milne poetry collection, Now We Are Six published in 1927, with verses directly mimicking Milne’s original poems. The premise: as The Doctor grows older, he tries to understand the world around him a little more. Lisa added a charming mix of Gallifrey and the Hundred Acre Woods to her poetry shelf, Now We Are Six Hundred: A Collection of Time Lord Verse by James Goss, with adorable illustrations by Russell T.
