A. A. Milne And Winnie-The-Pooh


    [Alan Alexander [A. A.] Milne (18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was an English author. Milne is most famous for his two Pooh books about a boy named Christopher Robin after his son, and various characters inspired by his sons stuffed animals, most notably the bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Christopher Robin Milnes stuffed bear, originally named [Edward], was renamed [Winnie-the-Pooh] after a Canadian black bear named Winnie (after Winnipeg), which was used as a military mascot in World War I, and left to London Zoo during the war. [The pooh] comes from a swan called [Pooh]. E. H. Shepard illustrated the original Pooh books, using his own sons teddy, Growler ([a magnificent bear]), as the model. Christopher Robin Milnes own toys are now under glass in New York.

    Winnie-the-Pooh was published in 1926, followed by The House at Pooh Corner in 1928. A second collection of nursery rhymes, Now We Are Six, was published in 1927. All three books were illustrated by E. H. Shepard. Milne also published four plays in this period. He also [gallantly stepped forward] to contribute a quarter of the costs of dramatising P. G. Wodehouses A Damsel in Distress. His book The World of Pooh won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958]. – Wikipedia
