The extraordinary life of A.A. Milne
Cohen, Nadia2017
Book
Very few authors can ever dream of coming close to the legacy left by A.A. Milne. He remains a household name in almost every corner of the globe thanks to a phenomenally popular collection of whimsical children's stories about a boy named Christopher Robin and his beloved teddy bear. Generations of children have grown up loving the tales of Winnie The Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood, which are still among the most popular fictional characters in the world. But while the adorable poems and stories have brought unparalleled joy to millions, A.A. Milne, himself was never able to enjoy the fame and fortune they brought him. He died deeply resenting Pooh's success, as far as he was concerned those stories were just such a tiny fraction of his literary work. This book delves deep into the life of Milne and sheds light on new places, and tells stories untold.
