Summary

Author A.A. Milne had help from his wife and young son in creating the characters of the 100 Acre Wood. Through the combined imagination of one family, a playtime fantasy turned into an international phenomenon. Winnie the Pooh soon outgrew his old home, leaving the Milne's far behind. Tracing the steps of the actual stuffed bear, the Milne family, and the loveable character they created, this biographical reference reveals how the Silly Old Bear became a worldwide symbol.
