Not everyone was a fan of The House at Pooh Corner. An infamous review of the book ran in the Constant Reader column of the October 20, 1928 issue of The New Yorker, in which Dorothy Parker pronounced “Tonstant Weader Fwowed up”.
The New Yorker ran many pieces in 1928 by Parker and other members of the sardonic Algonquin Round Table, as well as by other long-read writers like James Thurber and EB White. All of its 1928 issues will join the public domain in 53 days. #PublicDomainDayCountdown
