Winnie-the-Pooh, collection of children’s stories by A.A. Milne, published in 1926. He wrote the stories of Winnie-the-Pooh and its sequel, The House at Pooh Corner, for his son, Christopher Robin, whose toy animals were the basis for many of the characters and whose name was used for the young boy in the books.
Milne was the father of bookseller Christopher Robin Milne, upon whom the character Christopher Robin is based. It was during a visit to London Zoo, where Christopher became enamoured with the tame and amiable bear Winnipeg, that Milne was inspired to write the story of Winnie-the-Pooh for his son. [ 2]
