Winnie-the-Pooh's Birthday 1926
- the date of the first printing of the book
Winnie-the-Pooh.A. A. Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for the character Christopher Robin.
Read: The Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh-- In 1926, the world was introduced to a portly little bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Along with his young friend, Christopher Robin, Pooh delighted readers from the very beginning.
His often befuddled perceptions and adorable insights won the hearts of everyone around him, including his close group of friends.
From the energetic Tigger to the dismal Eeyore, A. A. Milne created a charming bunch, both entertaining and inspirational. These simple creatures often reflected a small piece of all of us: humble, silly, wise, cautious, creative, and full of life.
