About the book: (from the dust jacket) "A memoir of the real Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh" illustrated with photographs and E. H. Shepard line drawings. Millions of readers throughout the world have grown up with the stories and verses of A A. Milne about his son, Christopher Robin; Winnie-the-Pooh, the classic toy bear; and the Forest where Pooh and the other animals had their being. What was it like to be that small boy in the smock and Wellington boots who watched the Changing of the Guard with his nanny, Alice? Now in his fifties, Christopher Milne looks back at the child forever enshrined in "that enchanted place on the top of the Forest" and at the boy growing up for whom that child became a burden. In a gracefully written memoir, touching and humorous in turn. he not only answers the questions Pooh fans have asked for years, but also evokes an era and a way of life in London and the Sussex country- side that has its own nostalgic charm. A perceptive author himself, Mr. Milne has created a book whose appeal will not be confined to lovers of his father's work.
