"A survey launched by The Reading Agency that encourages
audiences to always read more, including through its Summer Reading Challenge
program , helped determine the favorite character of the British children's
literature. Most respondents said they liked ... Winnie the Pooh. Surprising,
especially when we know the unconditional love that the British bring to JK
Rowling, the author of the saga Harry Potter, whose characters have yet
accompanied millions of readers during their childhood - and after. "
-----------------------
AA Milne, who died 60
years ago, was a renowned British writer and playwright whose works have not
stood the test of time. On the other hand, his storybooks and children's poems
have delighted generations of young readers in Britain and throughout the
British Empire.
The four books that earned Milne a lasting fame had for
Christopher Hero
Robin, a boy named after his son, Christopher Robin Milne:
Winnie the Pooh (1926), The House at Pooh Horn ( The House at the Corner of
Pooh Street ) (1928) When We Were Very Young (1924) and Now We Are Six ( Now We
Are Six ) (1927). The characters in these books embodied his son's stuffed
animals, including a bear inspired by a Canadian brown bear named Winnie, a
mascot of a Canadian regiment of the First World War, entrusted to a London zoo
during hostilities [1]
EHShepard illustrated
the original works, using Christopher Robin Milne's teddy bear as a model. The
child's other toys were integrated into AA Milne's stories, plus two other
characters - Rabbit andOwl - from Milne's imagination. All these toys are now
in a New York showcase where 750,000 people will see them every year.Since
1966, Disney has released several movies featuring Winnie-the-Pooh and his
band.
Val Shushkewich , the
Canadian author of " The Real Winnie: A One-of-a-Kind Bear, " from
Natural Heritage, kindly agreed to give us a text on AA Milne and another on
Winnie-the-Pooh. His book tells the story of the Canadian bear that inspired
the stories of Pooh, as well as that of his owner, a Canadian soldier.
Paddington is another iconic bear, hero of charming
children's stories written by Michael Bond and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum,
who died this year at the age of 96.
Although Winnie the
Pooh ( Winnie the Pooh: Story of a Bear-like-That , Gallimard, October 2015 )
and Paddington's stories have been translated into French, we will release the
AA Milne, Winnie the Trilogy. -Pooh and Paddington for those of our readers who
may be unaware of these select pieces of British literature, or of those who do
not remember it very well. We begin below with Ms. Shushkewich's text on AA
Milne. Jean Leclercq Translation.
[1] AA Milne served in the British Army during the two world
wars.
AA Milne
Alan Alexander Milne
(better known as AA Milne) was born in 1882 and grew up in London. He
attendedHenley House School, run by his father and one of whose teachers was HG
Wells. This Wells, of which Milne later says he was "a great writer and a
great friend" and who would become the very famous British author of
anticipation. The young Alan went on to study atWestminster School in London
and at Trinity College in Cambridge where he studied mathematics.
Graduated from Cambridge in 1903, Milne quickly realized that
writing was his true calling. He returned to London to earn a living as an
independent writer. In 1906, he became editor of Punch, the great literary and
satirical weekly of which he became assistant editor and where, until 1914, he
signed humorous poems and original essays.
A convinced pacifist, Milne enlisted in the British army and
served during the Great War as an officer on the French front, participating
notably in the Battle of the Somme, in 1916. When the disease prevented him
from fighting in first line, his talent as a writer led to his being assigned
to a secret propaganda unit, the M17B, in 1916. At the time, the loss of life
was such as to prohibit any apology for the war, and the aim of the propaganda
unit Milne worked on was to write texts that extol British heroism and the need
to defeat the German Empire.
Alan was married in 1913. His only son, Christopher Robin,
was born in 1920.
After the war, Milne was successful as a playwright. His
comedies of the early 1920s were favorably received by both critics and the
public. He wrote a crime novel, The Mystery of the Red House , published in
1922. But he had to know the glory by writing light poetry. He had a lot of
imagination and an aptitude to imbue his writing with an original reflection,
sometimes even whimsical, which delighted the readers.
Alan wrote two series of books dedicated to his son that
became classics for children: When we were very young (1924) and Now we are six
(1927).
Milne's greatest and most enduring successes were Winnie the
Pooh (1926) and La Maison at the corner of Pooh Street (1928). These two books
became world successes that passed on to posterity.
The stuffed animals of young Christopher Robin Milne, hero of
the adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh.They have been exhibited at the New York City
Library since 1987.
Both volumes are filled with the adventures of a boy named
Christopher Robin (after Milne's son, Christopher Robin Milne) and his animal
friends (themselves inspired by Christopher's stuffed toys to which Milne's
imagination has given life). A bear, named Winnie the Pooh, was the main
character. It was named after a brown bear in the Canadian city of Winnipeg - a
theme that will be developed in the next article in this series. Milne's other
animals were the shyPiglet , the exuberant Rabbit , Owl , the cultivated owl,
Eeyore , the sad donkey, Tigger , the dynamic tiger, and the amiable kangaroo,
Kanga, and his cub, Roo .
Despite the fame earned by Winnie the Pooh books, Milne did
not like being a children's author. He did not write tales and poems for the
children, but rather for the child who is in us all. Besides, he seldom read
them to his son, preferring to read him the works of PG Wodehouse . Christopher
wrote, "My father did not write his books for children. He did not write
for any market; he knew nothing about marketing. He knew me, he knew himself
...... - He did not know anything else, except maybe life. Christopher first
became acquainted with tales and poems when he listened to recordings more than
sixty years after the first edition of the books. He was indignant at the
marketing of Winnie the Pooh. [2] [3] He also said, "I almost felt that my
father had reached the place where he was when I was riding a young child, that
he had stolen my name and had left me a vain glamor "
In his 1982 book, The Tao of Pooh , published by EP Dutton,
Inc., Benjamin Hoff attempts to interpret the profound meaning and philosophy
of Milne's tales. He argues that being naïve (that is, natural, simple, clear
and straightforward) does not necessarily mean being idiotic, and that this
harmonious way of life naturally leads to true happiness and serenity. The best
way to live is to appreciate and learn from all the events of everyday life.
This is essentially what the tales of Winnie the Pooh mean.
AA Milne died in 1956 at the age of 74.
