AA Milne’s beloved teddy bear, Winnie-the Pooh, first appeared in When We Were Very Young (1924)

AA Milne’s beloved teddy bear, Winnie-the Pooh, first appeared in When We Were Very Young (1924) introducing us to Piglet, Eeyore and the other characters of Hundred Acre wood. This lecture tells the story of the collaboration between Milne and EH Shepard and why their books remain embedded in our hearts.
