Alan Alexander Milne was born in London on January 18, 1882. He was the youngest of three brothers. His father was a school teacher and his mother was a homemaker. Alan Alexander could read at the age of two. He first attended Westminster School and then Cambridge on a mathematics scholarship. In 1906, he became the editor of Punch magazine. He continued on with this position for eight years. Within this time he wrote his first book; three collections of his contributions to the magazine were also published. In 1913 he married Dorothy de Selincourt. In 1915, during World War I, he enlisted in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and served in France. After the war he chose not to return to Punch, choosing to have the freedom to write when he wanted too.

Christopher Robin (A.A. Milne's only son) was born on August 21, 1920. Christopher became an inspiration to his father. When Christopher Robin was a year old, he was given a stuffed bear. Christopher first named this bear Edward bear. And later, Christopher received a tiger, a pig, and a donkey.

One day, Christopher's father, A.A. Milne, and an artist named Ernest H. Shepard, decided that these animals, and two other imaginary friends, Owl and Rabbit, would make fine characters in bedtime stories. From that day on, Pooh and his friends have had many adventures. These stories have been embraced by millions of children and adult readers for more than 70 years.

The REAL Winnie-the-Pooh won't be found on a video, in a movie, on a T-shirt or a lunchbox. Since 1987, the REAL Pooh and four of his best friends--Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, and Tigger--have been living at The New York Public Library. Anyone can visit the real Winnie-the-Pooh and his pals. Every year thousands of children and their parents have come to see them. Pooh and his friends are as happy as when they lived in the 100 Acre Wood.
