To celebrate his birthday this is the first, fascinating, biography of the real teddy bear which was the inspiration for A,A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh.

It was here that A.A.Milne wrote his world-famous books, and from here that Pooh eventually emigrated to America, spending many years as a celebrity on tour.
