In 1926, the world was introduced to a portly little bear named Winnie-the-Pooh.
Along with his young friend, Christopher Robin, Pooh delighted readers from the

hearts of everyone around him, including his close group of friends. From the
energetic Tigger to the dismal Eeyore, A. A. Milne created a charming bunch,
both entertaining and inspirational. These simple creatures often reflected a
small piece of all of us: humble, silly, wise, cautious, creative, and full of
life. Remember when Piglet did a very grand thing, or Eeyore's almost-forgotten
birthday? Gorgeous watercolor illustrations from Ernest H. Shepard appear
