Summary "Not That it Matters" by A. A. Milne is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. This work showcases Milne's witty observations on various subjects such as suburban life, the joys of writing, and the nature of golf, often blending humor and introspection. Through his reflections, Milne presents relatable anecdotes and humor that resonate with the everyday experiences of his readers. The opening of "Not That it Matters" introduces us to Milne's musings on writing. In a light-hearted manner, he discusses the pressure of producing written content, whimsically attributing his inspiration to the excitement of a new pen nib. This sets the tone for the book as he humorously navigates through different topics, such as suburban life on Acacia Road, where he imagines the intimacies of domestic life against the backdrop of a peaceful street. Milne smoothly transitions into reflections on his library and the motivations behind writing, revealing a playful yet thoughtful approach that invites readers into his world of charming observations and delightful prose.
