Edward Bear


I'm considering making a Christopher Robin statue.Disney owns the rights but they never use this long haired Christopher Robin. I remember reading the obituaries in '96 and commenting that Christopher Robin had died. This upset Molly, who didn't know that he'd been alive to begin with.
Winnie the Pooh was my introduction to great literature. I was seven. I loved the books and the E.H. Shepard illustrations so much that I've never seen any of the Disney cartoons.
This is a photo of Christopher Robin Milne and these are his stuffed animals that the stories were based on. The animals are in the New York Library.
I just ordered Milne's autobiography from Amazon.com. I read that he wasn't crazy about being a character in a book.
