Winnie the Pooh Birthday
Today (18th January) is the birthday of Winnie the Pooh, well actually his author A.A. Milne. And why shouldn't it be a bear's birthday too? Inspired by his son 'Christopher Robin', Winnie the Pooh was first published in a story in 1925, and subsequently in several books. Always enjoyed those stories and the poems. Credit must also go to E.H. Shepherd's wonderful original illustrations. Time to celebrate watching the movie 'Goodbye Christopher Robin' (2017) with a pot of honey. Oddly a week or so back, Bob, in the TWG mentioned a pod-cast where an actress read the A.A. Milne poem King John's Christmas. Quite longish, but very witty. Find it here: Featured Poem: King John's Christmas by A. A. Milne - The Reader Happy Birthday Winnie - and cheers to many more!
