In our last Book Caf茅 before Christmas, we'll be marking the first appearance in print of a certain Winnie-the-Pooh, in the Christmas Eve 1925 edition of the London Evening News. David Benedictus, author of the only official sequel to A. A. Milne's Pooh Bear books, and Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian's Children's Books Editor will discuss the enduring appeal of the honey-loving bear of very little brain and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.

With present-buying in mind, reviewer Christina Hardyment of The Times will give us her pick of the best audio books around this Christmas.

And: The Mitchell Library in Glasgow has been celebrating 100 years in its current location at Charing Cross. Principal Librarian Trish Grant will be revealing fascinating tales from the library's history, from the burying of a time capsule under the foundation stone in 1907 to the Library's role in the solving of the 1950 theft of the Stone of Destiny.
