About the Author

A.A. Milne grew up in a school - his parents ran Henley House in Kilburn, for young boys -but never intended to be a children's writer. Pooh he saw as a pleasant sideline to his main career as a playwright and regular scribe for the satirical literary magazine, Punch, for which he became Assistant Editor. Writing was very much the dominant feature of A.A.Milne's life. In the course of two decades he fought in the First World War, wrote some 18 plays and three novels and fathered a son, Christopher Robin Milne in 1920.

Observations of little Christopher led Milne to produce a book of children's poetry, When We Were Very Young, in 1924, and in 1926 the seminal Winnie-the-Pooh. More poems followed in Now We Are Six (1927) and Pooh returned in The House at Pooh Corner (1928). After that, in spite of enthusiastic demand, Milne declined to write any more children's stories as he felt that, with his son growing up, they would now only be copies based on a memory. E. H. Shepard famously illustrated both Winnie-the-Pooh and The Wind in the Willows though, like A. A. Milne, much of his career was devoted to work for the satirical magazine, Punch.

To do the illustrations for Winnie-the-Pooh , Shepard observed the real Christopher Robin Milne, but not the real Pooh. The bear in the pictures is in fact based on Growler, a toy belonging to Shepard's own son.
