Happy Birthday Winnie-The-Pooh

[drpaladin]

Today in 1926 Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne was first published. The bear and his companions were based on his son's toys, and the real life Christopher Robin Milne became the Christopher Robin of the books. Happy 89th birthday you silly, lovable bear.

Such a wise bear 

 

”I don’t see much sense in that,” said Rabbit. “No,” said Pooh humbly, “there isn’t. But there was going to be when I began it. It’s just that something happened to it along the way.”
