The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for 90 years.

Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are both heart-warming and funny, teaching lessons of friendship and  reflecting the power of a child’s imagination like no other story before or since.  

Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage.
