sixpenceee:The Real Winnie-the-PoohThe fictional show was based on Christopher Robin Milne, a real little boy living in England, who received a small stuffed bear on his first birthday. He named him Edward Bear. Edward was to be later renamed Winnie-the-Pooh. Following Edward came the rest of the stuffed animals, which Christopher loved and played with throughout his childhood.One day, Christopher’s father, A. A. Milne, and an artist named Ernest H. Shepard, decided that these animals, and two other imaginary friends, Owl and Rabbit, would make fine characters in a bedtime story. And thus the idea was born. (Source) -- source link
