Alan Alexander Milne

Alan Alexander Milne (18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems.

Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne.

Winnipeg, or Winnie, (1914 - 12 May 1934) was the name given to a female black bear that lived at London Zoo from 1915 until her death in 1934.

She was much loved for her playfulness and gentleness. Among her fans was A. A. Milne's son Christopher Robin, who changed the name of his own teddy bear from "Edward Bear" to "Winnie the Pooh", providing the inspiration for his father's stories about Winnie-the-Pooh.
