How many Winnie the Pooh books did A.A. Milne write?

Alan Alexander Milne (pronounced /ˈmɪln/) (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 was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work. After graduating from Cambridge in 1903, A. A. Milne contributed humorous verse and whimsical essays to the British humour magazine Punch,[7][8] joining the staff in 1906 and becoming an assistant editor. During this period he published 18 plays and 3 novels, including the murder mystery The Red House Mystery (1922). His son was born in August 1920 and in 1924 Milne produced a collection of children's poems When We Were Very Young, which were illustrated by Punch staff cartoonist E. H. Shepard. A collection of short stories for children Gallery of Children, and other stories that became part of the Winnie-the-Pooh books, were first published in 1925. Looking back on this period (in 1926) Milne observed that when he told his agent that he was going to write a detective story, he was told that what the country wanted from a "Punch humorist" was a humorous story; when two years later he said he was writing nursery rhymes, his agent and publisher were convinced he should write another detective story; and after another two years he was being told that writing a detective story would be in the worst of taste given the demand for children's books. He concluded that "the only excuse which I have yet discovered for writing anything is that I want to write it; and I should be as proud to be delivered of a Telephone Directory con amore as I should be ashamed to create a Blank Verse Tragedy at the bidding of others."The real stuffed toys owned by Christopher Robin Milne and featured in the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. They are on display in the Donnell Library Center in New York.Milne is most famous for his two Pooh books about a boy named Christopher Robin, after his son, and various characters inspired by his son's stuffed animals, most notably the bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Christopher Robin's bear, originally named "Edward",[11] was renamed "Winnie-the-Pooh" after a Canadian black bear named Winnie (after Winnipeg), which was used as a military mascot in World War I, and left to London Zoo during the war. "The pooh" comes from a swan called "Pooh". E. H. Shepard illustrated the original Pooh books, using his own son's teddy, Growler ("a magnificent bear"), as the model. Christopher Robin Milne's own toys are now under glass in New York. Winnie-the-Pooh was published in 1926, followed by The House at Pooh Corner in 1928. A second collection of nursery rhymes, Now We Are Six, was published in 1927. All three books were illustrated by E. H. Shepard. Milne also published four plays in this period. He also "gallantly stepped forward" to contribute a quarter of the costs of dramatising The success of his children's books was to become a source of considerable annoyance to Milne, whose self-avowed aim was to write whatever he pleased and who had, until then, found a ready audience for each change of direction: he had freed pre-war Punch from its ponderous facetiousness; he had made a considerable reputation as a playwright (like his idol J. M. Barrie) on both sides of the Atlantic; he had produced a witty piece of detective writing in The Red House Mystery(although this was severely criticised by Raymond Chandler for the implausibility of its plot). But once Milne had, in his own words, "said goodbye to all that in 70,000 words" (the approximate length of his four principal children's books), he had no intention of producing any reworkings lacking in originality, given that one of the sources of inspiration, his son, was growing older. His reception remained warmer in America than Britain, and he continued to publish novels and short stories, but by the late 1930s the audience for Milne's grown-up writing had largely vanished: he observed bitterly in his autobiography that a critic had said that the hero of his latest play ("God help it") was simply "Christopher Robin grown up...what an obsession with me children are become!". Even his old literary home, Punch, where the When We Were Very Young verses had first appeared, was ultimately to reject him, as Christopher Milne details in his autobiography The Enchanted Places, although Methuen continued to publish whatever Milne wrote, including the long poem 'The Norman Church' and an assembly of articles entitled Year In, Year Out(which Milne likened to a benefit night for the author). He also adapted Kenneth Grahame's novel The Wind in the Willows for the stage as Toad of Toad Hall. The title was an implicit admission that such chapters as Chapter 7, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", could not survive translation to the theatre.[citation needed] A special introduction written by Milne is included in some editions of Grahame's novel. Several of Milne's children's poems were set to music by the composer Harold Fraser-Simson. His poems have been parodied many times, including with the books When We Were Rather Older and Now We Are Sixty. After Milne's death, his widow sold the rights to the Pooh characters to the Walt Disney Company, which has made a number of Pooh cartoon movies, as well as a large amount of Pooh-related merchandise. Royalties from the Pooh characters paid by Disney to the Royal Literary Fund, part-owner of the Pooh copyright, provide the income used to run the Fund's Fellowship Scheme, placing professional writers in U.K. universities.


Are Walt Disney Television and The Jim Henson Company planning to work on Tales from the World of Pooh Corner?

Yes, it will. It will be included as part of the Disney Channel Afternoon, and Walt Disney Television Animation and The Jim Henson Company will produce the show starting with a series of two direct-to-DVD movies, "Tales from the World of Pooh Corner" (2019) and "More Tales from the World of Pooh Corner" (2020). Live-action sequences with Jim Henson's "Muppets"-like versions of animal characters from Winnie the Pooh and a live-action model Christopher Robin will appear at the beginning and ending to each part. Christopher Robin's appearance is being updated due to his new live-action model; he will have just blue eyes instead of the beady ones, and a pair of white over-the-calf tube socks (knee-high length), being worn on his feet, either with his brown Mary Jane shoes from all 4 Winnie the Pooh featurettes or with his red/white sneakers from The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. He will still wear two outfits in "Tales from the World of Pooh Corner" (one from all of the 4 Winnie the Pooh featurettes in the 1st-half part, and the other from "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" in the 2nd-half part), but just like his original appearance, his left sock still has to be pulled down at all times whenever we see him wearing his blue knee-length shorts. In "More Tales from the World of Pooh Corner" and "Tales from the World of Pooh Corner: The Series", Christopher Robin would wear all of his casual outfit from his appearance in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, but his bright blue long-leg full-length slacks with light blue cuffs on bottom are being worn on his body as a replacement of the blue knee-length shorts. The two changes from the original "New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" and "The Book of Pooh" are that whenever Christopher Robin's mother appears, she was completely visible with herself wearing the same attire as her introduction in the animated segments (and even in the live-action sequences with her son), which means her face was shown in the animated segments, and Christopher Robin's face was completely shown in the live-action sequences. Over 150 half-hour episodes are in development by Walt Disney Television Animation and The Jim Henson Company, each of these will feature 75 half-hour episodes and 150 quarter-hour episodes in another 75 half-hour shows. These will be shown on selected Disney Channels worldwide along with another 10 2-hour specials, according to the production staff of The Walt Disney Company. It is definitely going to happen at the end of 2015 (and beginning of 2016); also, news will be reported and sources will be given very soon, according to the production staff each from Walt Disney Television (formerly Disney-ABC Domestic Television) and The Jim Henson Company.
