  2. How we got Winnie the Pooh The author, Alan Alexander Milne, originally wrote the books about his son, Christopher Robin, it was not until 1925 that Winnie the Pooh came into the stories. Pooh went into the Christmas Eve issue of the Evening News. It was a bedtime story he had made up about his son and his adventures he had with his teddy bear, known as Winnie the Pooh. He started the series of the books about Winnie the Pooh, his son, Christopher, and all of their friends in the Hundred Acre Woods, Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, and Roo. All the the characters in the books were based on Christopher’s stuffed animals he had at home. . Milne wrote The Winnie the Pooh books on what he knew. All of the characters were his son’s stuffed animals and animals from woods in near their home. The woods around their home was known as the 100-acre woods. Milne wrote mostly plays and novels, the Pooh stories remain his best known work. He wrote many plays, Mr. Pim Passes by, The Lucky One, The Dover Road, and The Romantic Age. He was not into writing children’s books, that was something that he just fell into and still is known as his best work.
