Milne. Heappears in the books Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included several poems aboutWinnie-the-Pooh in the children's poetry books When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. All four volumes were illustratedby E. H. Shepard.The hyphen was later dropped when Walt Disney Productions adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh featuretteswhich 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 TimesBestseller List.Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a toy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for thecharacter Christopher Robin. His toys also lent their names to most of the other characters, except for Owl and Rabbit, who wereprobably based on real animals, and the Gopher character, who was added in the Disney version. Christopher Robin's toy bear isnow 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 swanthey had met while on holiday. The bear, called "Winnie," was known as a gentle bear who never attacked anyone, and she wasmuch loved for her playfulness. This is exactly what inspired Milne to write about Pooh Bear. Pooh the swan appears as a characterin 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 outsideAshdownForest and includes some of the locations mentioned in the book, such as the Enchanted Place."Information found at:WikipediaFind more Winnie The Pooh Here:Winnie The PoohWinnie The Pooh & Strawberry Shortcake Powered By RingsurfThis site is part of an Internet Site-Ring Community hosted at World of Newave Previous - List: poohbear - Home: poohbear - Forum: poohbear - Join - Next
