Milne was primarily a playwright before the huge success of Winnie-the-Pooh overshadowed his previous work. Milne was the father of bookseller Christopher Robin Milne, upon whom the character Christopher Robin is based. It was during a visit to London Zoo, where Christopher became enamored with the tame and amiable bear Winnipeg, that Milne was inspired to write the story of Winnie-the-Pooh for his son.

I have been selling rare books for over 12 year and have a 100% customer satisfaction rating on all venues from which I sell. I am a collector first and know what it's like to receive items not matching the seller's descriptions or that were poorly packaged and damaged in transit. That is why I offer a 100% satisfaction money back guarantee. I go to great lengths to accurately describe my rare, signed and collectible books and post pictures of the "actual book." I carefully package and ship your newly acquired treasure(s) and generally ship within one business day of receiving your order. Please send me an email if you would like additional pictures of a book or have any questions. Kind Regards, Ryan
