Somewhere, a boy and a bear : the remarkable life of A.A. Milne and the legacy of Winnie the Pooh
Brandreth, Gyles Daubeney, 1948-2026
Audiobooks
When Winnie-the-Pooh first appeared in print on Christmas Eve 1925, his creator had no idea that this bear, and the fellow inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood, would go on to capture the imaginations of people of all ages all over the world for the next hundred years. In this biography Gyles Brandreth tells the remarkable story of A.A. Milne - and of the 'bear of very little brain' who went on to become a global phenomenon. Drawing on his friendship with Milne's son, the real Christopher Robin, Gyles Brandreth has produced a revealing and intimate portrait of a prolific author whose legacy came to be defined by his most famous creation, and of the divided Milne family who for many years had a conflicted relationship with the iconic bear.
