Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne
book, borax, 7 ½ x 7 ¾ x 4 ¾ inches
The beloved 1926 story of a legendary bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, has been banned throughout the U.S. because “talking animals are an insult to God.” Polish officials blocked a playground in Poland from using Winnie-the-Pooh as its mascot because “he is half naked which is wholly inappropriate for children.”
Disclaimer
The crystallized banned books are intended to slowly alter in appearance over time. The crystals transform from translucent to opaque while the sculptural form of the book remains intact. In order to preserve the slow rate of change, I suggest the sculpture be kept (as best as possible) in a consistent climate with low humidity and normal room temperature or cooler, as well as away from direct heat and sunlight. Individual crystals may shed when handled.
*Because each crystallized banned book is handmade and, therefore, one of a kind, we cannot offer refunds.
