Since 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, Owl, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, and the ever doleful Eeyore have endured as the unforgettable creations of A. A. Milne, who wrote two books of Pooh s adventures for his son, Christopher Robin, and Ernest H. Shepard, who lovingly gave them shape through his iconic and beautiful illustrations.
