---------- About the Author----------

Alan Alexander Milne (1882–1956) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children\'s poems. Milne is most famous for his two Pooh books about a boy named Christopher Robin, after his son, and various characters inspired by his son\'s stuffed animals, most notably the bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Christopher Robin\'s bear, originally named \"Edward\",was renamed \"Winnie-the-Pooh\" after a Canadian black bear named Winnie (after Winnipeg), which was used as a military mascot in World War I, and left to London Zoo during the war. Winnie-the-Pooh was published in 1926, followed by The House at Pooh Corner in 1928. A second collection of nursery rhymes, Now We Are Six, was published in 1927. Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work.
