rdfs:comment
  • Portions of the book were adapted from previously published stories. The first chapter, for instance, was adapted from "The Wrong Sort of Bees", a story published in the London Evening News in its issue for Christmas Eve 1925. The chapters in the book can be read independently of each other, as they are episodic in nature and plots do not carry over from one chapter to the next. In 2003, Winnie the Pooh was listed at number 7 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.
  • The book consists of ten loosely-connected stories, each told in one of its ten chapters. It is notable for being the first appearance Pooh and the other classic characters of the franchise, except for Tigger, who would be introduced in the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner, also written by Milne. Winnie-the-Pooh has recently gained a third sequel, Return to the Hundred Acre Wood, by David Benedictus. Winnie-the-Pooh is still considered one of the most time-honored storybooks, especially in the UK. It has been translated into more than 25 languages, including Latin and Esperanto.
  • Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) is the first volume of stories about Winnie-the-Pooh, by A. A. Milne. It is followed by The House at Pooh Corner. The book focuses on the adventures of a teddy bear called Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, a small toy pig; Eeyore, a toy donkey; Owl, a live owl; and Rabbit, a live rabbit. The characters of Kanga, a toy kangaroo, and her son Roo are introduced later in the book, in the chapter entitled "In Which Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest and Piglet has a Bath." The bouncy toy-tiger character of Tigger is not introduced until the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner.

  • The book consists of ten loosely-connected stories, each told in one of its ten chapters. It is notable for being the first appearance Pooh and the other classic characters of the franchise, except for Tigger, who would be introduced in the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner, also written by Milne. Winnie-the-Pooh has recently gained a third sequel, Return to the Hundred Acre Wood, by David Benedictus. Before the publishing of Winnie-the-Pooh, a similar character named Edward Bear had made appearances in some of Milne's poems. The character who would become Pooh had his first real appearance in "The Wrong Sort of Bees", a story published in the London Evening News in its issue for Christmas Eve 1925, which would later be adapted into the first chapter of Winnie-the-Pooh. Winnie-the-Pooh is still considered one of the most time-honored storybooks, especially in the UK. It has been translated into more than 25 languages, including Latin and Esperanto. The book would later spawn the worldwide famous Disney adaptation of the Pooh franchise, starting in the 1960's when Walt Disney produced three featurettes, based on mixed-together stories from this book as well as its sequel, and later put together in the film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Original Disney stories would follow, spawning the TV series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and several other series, films and merchandise later on. The 2003 Disney movie Piglet's Big Movie returned to the practice of adapting stories from the book, while at the same time clumping them together with an original plot. It is believed that the upcoming Disney film Winnie-the-Pooh will also be an adaptation of Milne's stories.
