Milne's lovable Pooh Bear, as he was affectionally referred to, is a fictional bear based on a black bear named Winnie. Winnie, the author's son, Christopher Robin, would visit the bear often and named his own teddy bear after her and a swan named Pooh.
This friendship sparked a series of books beginning with When We Were Young in 1924. The books were beautifully illustrated by E.H. Shepard.
Thousands of children were taken by the Hundred Acre Woods, their adventures took them and millions of others. Each character in the books had a unique role. Whether the wisdom of Owl or Rabbit led the group awry or a celebration, the story's characters became popular around the world.
