The story of Winnie, the real Canadian bear that captured the heart
of Christopher, son of A.A. Milne, and became immortalized in the
Winnie the Pooh stories, is told against the backdrop of the First
World War. In August 1914, a Canadian soldier and veterinarian
named Lieutenant Harry Colebourn, en route to a training camp in
Quebec, purchased a black bear cub in White River, Ontario, which
he named Winnipeg. First a regimental mascot for Canadians training
for wartime service, Winnie then became a star attraction at the
London Zoo, and ultimately inspired one of the best-loved
characters in children's literature. For those many generations of
readers who adored Winnie the Pooh, and for those intrigued by the
unique stories embedded in Canadian history, this book is a feast
of information about a one-of-a-kind bear set during a poignant
period of world history. Today Winnie "lives on" at the London Zoo,
in White River and in Winnipeg. Her remarkable legacy is celebrated
in many ways - from statues and plaques to festivals and museum
galleries.
