About the author
A.A. Milne
1,968 books3,910 followersAlan Alexander Milne (pronounced /ˈmɪln/) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems.
A. A. Milne was born in Kilburn, London, to parents Vince Milne and Sarah Marie Milne (née Heginbotham) and grew up at Henley House School, 6/7 Mortimer Road (now Crescent), Kilburn, a small public school run by his father. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells who taught there in 1889–90. Milne attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied on a mathematics scholarship. While there, he edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor.
Milne joined the British Army in World War I and served as an officer in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and later, after a debilitating illness, the Royal Corps of Signals. He was discharged on February 14, 1919.
After the war, he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934), which he retracted somewhat with 1940's War with Honour. During World War II, Milne was one of the most prominent critics of English writer P. G. Wodehouse, who was captured at his country home in France by the Nazis and imprisoned for a year. Wodehouse made radio broadcasts about his internment, which were broadcast from Berlin. Although the light-hearted broadcasts made fun of the Germans, Milne accused Wodehouse of committing an act of near treason by cooperating with his country's enemy. Wodehouse got some revenge on his former friend by creating fatuous parodies of the Christopher Robin poems in some of his later stories, and claiming that Milne "was probably jealous of all other writers.... But I loved his stuff."
He married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913, and their only son, Christopher Robin Milne, was born in 1920. In 1925, A. A. Milne bought a country home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex. During World War II, A. A. Milne was Captain of the Home Guard in Hartfield & Forest Row, insisting on being plain 'Mr. Milne' to the members of his platoon. He retired to the farm after a stroke and brain surgery in 1952 left him an invalid and by August 1953 "he seemed very old and disenchanted".
He was 74 years old when he passed away in 1956.

Timeless entertainment with just the right elements of humor, sweetness, and melancholy moments
It’s hard to believe the Winnie-the-Pooh juggernaut got started in the 1920s and is still going strong. These two-in-one books have a charming, old-fashioned feel, though the prose is not as old-fashioned as you might think. The playful stories are certainly for kids, but the writing is adult enough for parents to enjoy, plus it’s just solid early literature to pass on to children.
There is an everyday feel to the “scrapes” in the forest that Poo and his friends—Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet, Owl, Rabbit, Kanga, and Roo—get into. They can be silly, such as Eeyore always losing his tail and Poo getting stuck in the hole of the entrance of a house, but that’s the point. The bear and his friends, with the help of the imaginative human who comes around from time to time, Christopher Robin, always manage to figure things out and keep moving.
Humble Winnie-the-Poo makes no bones about the fact that he often needs help deciphering issues that pop up, though the “hunny”-loving bear can churn out a poem or song with impressive speed to match the mood of the moment. The “wise” and prophesizing owl manages to mess up the spelling of words, which is funny, and Eeyore’s poor attitude about nearly everything in life (though he does pull through at times) is priceless in a world nowadays in which people aren’t allowed to simply be sad if they want to be.
My only slight complaint with the book is that I wish all the characters and story creators had been mentioned at the start of the book rather than the end, particularly Christopher Robin. Nonetheless, I’m so glad this group of characters has managed to survive over the decades and is still alive and well today.
