Winnie-the-Pooh's Story
The story of Winnie-the-Pooh grew out of author A.A. Milne’s son Christopher Robin’s 18-inch-tall stuffed bear named Winnie and his companions Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga and Roo, and the bedtime stories they inspired. Milne enlisted illustrator Ernest Shepard to help bring these tales, set in the magical Hundred Acre Wood, to life on the page. Milne and Shepard published the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner in 1928.
Winnie-the-Pooh has been counted among the 100 best Children’s Books of all time by TIME Magazine and credited with creating “among the most cherished of characters in children’s literature” by The New Yorker. Praised as “as magical now as they were…in 1926” (Good Housekeeping), Winnie-the-Pooh books have sold more than 45 million copies across the United States, remaining a staple on children’s first bookshelves thanks to Shephard’s iconic illustrations and Pooh’s ineffable humor, calm, and self-deprecation. Off the page, Pooh has inspired countless adaptations across film, television, audio, and other formats. A.A. Milne’s original Winnie-The-Pooh stories entered Public Domain in the U.S. in 2022.
About the Creators
A. A. Milne (1882-1956) was born in England. He studied at Cambridge but left school in 1903 to write, soon supporting himself on his earnings as an editor at Punch magazine and as a playwright. His son Christopher Robin Milne was born in 1920. Christopher's toy bear, pig, donkey, tiger, and kangaroo inspired the famous Pooh books. Milne also wrote plays, a novel, his autobiography, and political nonfiction, although he is best remembered for Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young, and Now We Are Six.
Ernest H. Shepard (1879-1976) was born in England. Shepard won a scholarship to the Royal Academy Schools, and, after graduating, supported himself by drawing for illustrated papers and books. He became a regular contributor to Punch magazine, where he met A. A. Milne. While working together, Shepard agreed to do the illustrations for Milne's first book of verse, When We Were Very Young. Shepard’s witty and loving illustrations of Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood have become an inseparable part of the Pooh stories, and they have become classics in their own right.
