Winnie The Pooh

"Edward 'Winnie-the-Pooh' Bear or sometimes referred to as Pooh, is a fictional bear created by A. A. Milne. He
appears in the books Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included several poems about
Winnie-the-Pooh in the children's poetry books When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. All four volumes were illustrated
by E. H. Shepard.

The hyphen was later dropped when Walt Disney Productions adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh featurettes
which became one of the company's most successful franchises worldwide.

The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages, notably including Alexander Lenard's Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu,
which was first published in 1958, and, in 1960, became the first foreign-language book to be featured on the New York Times
Bestseller List.

Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a toy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for the
character Christopher Robin. His toys also lent their names to most of the other characters, except for Owl and Rabbit, who were
probably based on real animals, and the Gopher character, who was added in the Disney version. Christopher Robin's toy bear is
now on display at the Donnell Library Center Central Children's Room in New York.

Christopher Milne had named his toy after Winnipeg, a bear which he and his father often saw at London Zoo, and "Pooh," a swan
they had met while on holiday. The bear, called "Winnie," was known as a gentle bear who never attacked anyone, and she was
much loved for her playfulness. This is exactly what inspired Milne to write about Pooh Bear. Pooh the swan appears as a character
in its own right in When We Were Very Young.

The home of the Milnes, Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England, was the basis for the setting of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories.
The name of the fictional "Hundred Acre Wood" is reminiscent of the Five Hundred Acre Wood, which lies just outside
Ashdown
Forest and includes some of the locations mentioned in the book, such as the Enchanted Place."
