About the Author:

Alan Alexander Milne (18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and various poems. Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work. Milne served in both World Wars, joining the British Army in World War I, and as a captain of the British Home Guard in World War II.

He was the father of bookseller Christopher Robin Milne, upon whom the character Christopher Robin is based.

During this period he published 18 plays and three novels, including the murder mystery The Red House Mystery (1922). His son was born in August 1920 and in 1924 Milne produced a collection of children’s poems, When We Were Very Young, which were illustrated by Punch staff cartoonist E. H. Shepard. A collection of short stories for children A Gallery of Children, and other stories that became part of the Winnie-the-Pooh books, were first published in 1925.

My Thoughts

Article by Robin Raven Updated: Oct. 25, 2021

The boy who inspired A.A. Milne’s enchanting stories grew to hate the silly old bear we all know and love.

You probably know the name Christopher Robin from one of the most beloved children’s books in history. But Christopher Robin Milne was a real person—the only child of Winnie the Pooh author A.A. Milne. It was his playtime in the woods with his parents and his favorite stuffed animal that inspired the series. However, the little boy would soon be thrust into the spotlight before he was even old enough for kindergarten, much less equipped to handle worldwide fame and recognition. Here’s what Christopher Robin thought of Winnie the Pooh and his reluctant legacy as the hero of these stories.

Characters in the Novel:

Winnie the Pooh:

A cute, cuddly, adorable, and most beloved character in the novel Winnie the Pooh. What I love about Winnie the Pooh is his nature. A nature that would make you smile no matter what mood you are in. His very words, gestures, and the thought made me smile and laugh all the way. His baby nature is what captivates you.

Piglet

Small, quick, and scared little fellow. What I like about Piglet is he worries a lot, almost about everything. No matter, how scary things look for him, he still stands up for it.

Christopher Robin

Pooh’s best friend and who is always there for Pooh. I found Christopher to be very patient with Pooh. He never stops Pooh, from exploring his thoughts. Something that I should learn too. Pooh is like a kid, a kid explore, builds, breaks, hurts, and does all sorts of things. This is how kids grow up. Everyone in the gang is different in their own way, but Christopher understands them all, he kindly and patiently handles each one of them.

About the Novel:

Come with us to an Enchanted Place, a forest where Winnie-the-Pooh lived with Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga, and Little Roo. The stories are about Christopher Robin and these good companions having wonderful times getting in and out of trouble. It is all very exciting and, really, quite thrilling no matter how young or old you may be. It is painful to try and imagine what the world would be like without them.

Blackstone Audiobooks presents, from the unabridged collection A.A. Milne’s Pooh Classics, the 10 stories of Winnie-the-Pooh performed by Peter Dennis. This is the only reading of these immortal stories authorized by A.A. Milne’s son, Christopher Robin, who wrote, “Peter Dennis has made himself Pooh’s Ambassador Extraordinaire and no bear has ever had a more devoted friend. So if you want to meet the real Pooh, the bear I knew, the bear my father wrote about, listen to Peter.”
