On August 21, 1921, an 18" high teddy bear was given from A. A. Milne to his son, Christopher Robin Milne, on his first birthday. The bear was an Alpha Farnell bear, made of Yorkshire mohair, from Harrods’s in London. From 1921 to 1926, Christopher Robin was given five more stuffed animals, Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, Roo and Tigger. Roo was lost in an apple orchard in the 1930s. Owl, Rabbit and Gopher weren’t actual stuffed animals – created by the imaginations of A. A. Milne and illustrator Ernest H. Sheppard. After a tour of the United States, Winnie the Pooh and Friends were displayed at E.P. Dutton & Co. Publishers in New York City from 1956 to 1987. In 1987, Winnie the Pooh and Friends were put on display for the public at The New York Public Library. At the Donnell Library Center until 2008, they were recently moved to the Stephen A. Schwartzman Building at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. The first Pooh game was produced by Parker Brothers in 1933. In America, the first plush dolls with Pooh in his red shirt were hand-sewn in flannel and felt by Agnes Brush - starting in 1944, until the early 1960s. Chad Valley produced Winnie the Pooh plush characters in the United Kingdom.

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteWinnie the Pooh has such an interesting history, yet you were to write about the history of National Winnie the Pooh Day. You could have talked about when it was established and who started it.
