History

Origin

Original Winnie-the-Pooh stuffed toys. Clockwise from bottom left: Tigger, Kanga, Edward Conduct ("Winnie-the-Pooh"), Eeyore, and Piglet. Roo was lost long agone.

A. A. Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh afterward a teddy carry owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, on whom the graphic symbol Christopher Robin was based. The residue of Christopher Milne's toys – Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger – were incorporated into Milne's stories.[2] [3] 2 more than characters, Owl and Rabbit, were created by Milne's imagination, while Gopher was added to the Disney version. Christopher Robin's toy carry is on display at the Main Branch of the New York Public Library in New York Urban center.[4]

Christopher Milne had named his toy carry after Winnie, a Canadian black bear he frequently saw at London Zoo, and Pooh, a swan they had encountered while on vacation. The bear cub was purchased from a hunter for C$20 past Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn in White River, Ontario, while en route to England during the First World State of war.[v] He named the comport Winnie after his adopted hometown in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winnie was surreptitiously brought to England with her possessor, and gained unofficial recognition as The Fort Garry Horse regimental mascot. Colebourn left Winnie at the London Zoo while he and his unit of measurement were in France; afterward the state of war she was officially donated to the zoo, as she had become a much-loved attraction there.[6] Pooh the swan appears as a character in its ain right in When Nosotros Were Very Immature.

Statue in Winnipeg of Harry Colebourn and Winnie

In the first chapter of Winnie-the-Pooh, Milne offers this explanation of why Winnie-the-Pooh is frequently called but "Pooh":

But his artillery were then stiff ... they stayed up directly in the air for more than a calendar week, and whenever a wing came and settled on his olfactory organ he had to blow it off. And I retrieve – but I am not sure – that that is why he is always called Pooh.

American author William Safire surmised that the Milnes' invention of the proper name "Winnie the Pooh" may accept too been influenced by the haughty character Pooh-Bah in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado (1885).[7]

Ashdown Forest: the setting for the stories

The Winnie-the-Pooh stories are set in Ashdown Forest, E Sussex, England. The forest is an area of tranquil open heathland on the highest sandy ridges of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty situated xxx miles (50 km) s-e of London. In 1925 Milne, a Londoner, bought a country dwelling house a mile to the north of the forest at Cotchford Farm, near Hartfield. According to Christopher Milne, while his male parent continued to alive in London "...the four of us – he, his wife, his son and his son's nanny – would pile into a large blue, chauffeur-driven Fiat and travel down every Saturday morn and back again every Monday afternoon. And we would spend a whole glorious calendar month in that location in the spring and two months in the summer."[8] From the front lawn the family had a view across a meadow to a line of alders that fringed the River Medway, across which the ground rose through more trees until finally "above them, in the faraway distance, crowning the view, was a bare hilltop. In the centre of this hilltop was a clump of pines." Most of his male parent's visits to the forest at that fourth dimension were, he noted, family expeditions on pes "to make yet another attempt to count the pine trees on Gill'due south Lap or to search for the marsh gentian". Christopher added that, inspired by Ashdown Woods, his father had made it "the setting for two of his books, finishing the second little over three years later his arrival".[ix]

Many locations in the stories tin be associated with real places in and around the forest. As Christopher Milne wrote in his autobiography: "Pooh'south forest and Ashdown Forest are identical." For example, the fictional "Hundred Acre Wood" was in reality Five Hundred Acre Woods; Galleon'southward Jump was inspired by the prominent hilltop of Gill'due south Lap, while a clump of trees just due north of Gill's Lap became Christopher Robin's The Enchanted Place, because no-1 had ever been able to count whether there were 63 or 64 trees in the circle.[ten]

The landscapes depicted in E. H. Shepard's illustrations for the Winnie-the-Pooh books were directly inspired by the distinctive landscape of Ashdown Woods, with its high, open heathlands of heather, gorse, bracken and silver birch, punctuated by hilltop clumps of pine trees. Many of Shepard'south illustrations can be matched to actual views, allowing for a degree of artistic licence. Shepard's sketches of pine trees and other forest scenes are held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.[11]

The game of Poohsticks was originally played by Christopher Milne on the wooden footbridge,[12] across the Millbrook,[13] Posingford Wood, close to Cotchford Farm. It is now a tourist attraction, and it has become traditional to play the game in that location using sticks gathered in the nearby woodland.[12] [14] When the footbridge had to exist replaced in 1999, the architect used every bit a chief source drawings by Shepard in the books, which differ a little from the original construction.

Get-go publication

Christopher Robin's teddy deport fabricated his grapheme début, under the name Edward, in A. A. Milne's poem, "Teddy Deport", in the edition of 13 Feb 1924 of Punch (E. H. Shepard had also included a like bear in a cartoon published in Punch the previous calendar week[15]), and the same poem was published in Milne's book of children'southward verse When Nosotros Were Very Young (half-dozen November 1924).[16] Winnie-the-Pooh get-go appeared by proper noun on 24 December 1925, in a Christmas story deputed and published by the London newspaper Evening News.

Character

In the Milne books, Pooh is naive and slow-witted, but he is likewise friendly, thoughtful, and steadfast. Although he and his friends agree that he is "a acquit of very little brain", Pooh is occasionally acknowledged to accept a clever thought, usually driven past mutual sense. These include riding in Christopher Robin's umbrella to rescue Piglet from a alluvion, discovering "the N Pole" by picking it up to help fish Roo out of the river, inventing the game of Poohsticks, and getting Eeyore out of the river by dropping a big rock on one side of him to launder him towards the depository financial institution.

Pooh is also a talented poet and the stories are frequently punctuated by his poems and "hums". Although he is humble about his slow-wittedness, he is comfy with his creative gifts. When Owl's firm blows downward in a windstorm, trapping Pooh, Piglet and Owl inside, Pooh encourages Piglet (the only one small enough to do and then) to escape and rescue them all by promising that "a respectful Pooh song" will be written about Piglet'southward feat. Later, Pooh muses nearly the creative process as he composes the song.

Pooh is very fond of food, particularly "hunny", simply as well condensed milk and other items. When he visits friends, his desire to exist offered a snack is in disharmonize with the impoliteness of asking besides directly. Though intent on giving Eeyore a pot of honey for his birthday, Pooh could not resist eating it on his mode to deliver the nowadays and so instead gives Eeyore "a useful pot to put things in". When he and Piglet are lost in the wood during Rabbit's attempt to "unbounce" Tigger, Pooh finds his manner abode by post-obit the "call" of the honeypots from his business firm. Pooh makes information technology a habit to have "a footling something" effectually 11:00 in the morning. As the clock in his firm "stopped at five minutes to eleven some weeks ago", any time can be Pooh'southward snack time.

Pooh is very social. After Christopher Robin, his closest friend is Piglet, and he most often chooses to spend his time with one or both of them. But he likewise habitually visits the other animals, ofttimes looking for a snack or an audience for his verse equally much every bit for companionship. His kind-heartedness ways he goes out of his way to be friendly to Eeyore, visiting him and bringing him a altogether present and building him a business firm, despite receiving by and large disdain from Eeyore in render.

It sees Winnie the Pooh meet the Queen at Buckingham Palace.[22]
