Walt Disney is great at creating characters that people cherish long beyond the boundaries of childhood. Among these are the memorable collection of characters who inhabit the Hundred Acre Wood. Disney’s various Winnie the Pooh tales follow the plots of stories originally told by English author A.A. Milne in the 1920s.
Interestingly, many of Milne’s characters were created after his son Christopher’s collection of stuffed animals. Christopher’s teddy bear, the muse for Winnie the Pooh, got his title from a real bear named Winnipeg whom the family liked to visit at the London Zoo. The “Pooh” bit came from the name of a swan. Milne’s sweet stories are charmingly written and still enchant young audiences.
