VERY few authors can ever dream of coming close to the legacy left
by AA Milne. He remains a household name in almost every corner of
the globe thanks to a phenomenally popular collection of whimsical
children s stories about a boy named Christopher Robin and his
beloved teddy bear. Generations of children have grown up loving
the tales of Winnie The Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre
Wood, which are still among the most popular and profitable -
fictional characters in the world. But while the adorable poems and
stories have brought unparalleled joy to millions, Alan Alexander
Milne, himself was never able to enjoy the fame and fortune they
brought him. He died deeply resenting Pooh s success, as far as he
was concerned those stories were just such a tiny fraction of his
literary work, but nothing else he produced came close in terms of
public appreciation. Milne died still unable to reconcile the fact
that no matter what else he wrote, regardless of all the plays and
stories for adults he had published, he would always be remembered
as a children s storyteller. And his son, widely hailed as the
inspiration for the adorable character of Christopher Robin, could
never accept his unique place in literary history either. He had
barely reached his teens before he grew to loathe his famous
father, who he bitterly accused of exploiting his early years. _The
Extraordinary Life of AA Milne_ delves deep into the life of Milne
and sheds light on new places, and tells stories untold.
