Literary career

Family

· Alan Alexander Milne was born in Kilburn, London to parents John Vine Milne, who was born in Jamaica, and Sarah Marie Milne (née Heginbotham) on January 18, 1882. He had two elder brothers, David Barrett Milne and Kenneth John Milne.

Childhood

· Alan Alexander Milne was brought up in his father’s school, Henley House, along with his two elder brothers. Later, in 1893, he won a scholarship to Westminster School where he studied for seven years before taking admission at the Trinity College, Cambridge.

Education

· While at Cambridge, he studied mathematics and also edited and wrote for the student magazine Granta. Realizing that writing was his true vocation, he moved to London after his graduation in 1903. He began writing for the literary magazine Punch in 1906, and his essays and humorous poetry were published in the magazine through 1914. Milne began a successful career as a novelist, poet and playwright

Wartime Service

Milne joined the British Army in World War I and served as an officer in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and later, after a debilitating illness, the Royal Corps of Signals. He was commissioned into the 4th Battalion, Royal Warwickshire Regiment on 17 February 1915 as a second lieutenant (on probation). His commission was confirmed on 20 December 1915. On 7 July 1916, he was injured while serving in the Battle of the Somme and invalided back to England. Having recuperated, he was recruited into Military Intelligence to write propaganda articles for MI 7b between 1916 and 1918. He was discharged on 14 February 1919, and settled in Mallord Street, Chelsea. He relinquished his commission on 19 February 1920, retaining the rank of lieutenant.

After the war, he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934), which he retracted somewhat with 1940's War with Honour. During World War II, Milne was one of the most prominent critics of fellow English writer P. G. Wodehouse, who was captured at his country home in France by the Nazis and imprisoned for a year. Wodehouse made radio broadcasts about his internment, which were broadcast from Berlin. Although the light-hearted broadcasts made fun of the Germans, Milne accused Wodehouse of committing an act of near treason by cooperating with his country's enemy. Wodehouse got some revenge on his former friend (e.g., in The Mating Season) by creating fatuous parodies of the Christopher Robin poems in some of his later stories, and claiming that Milne "was probably jealous of all other writers.... But I loved his stuff."

During World War II, Milne was Captain of the British Home Guard in Hartfield & Forest Row, insisting on being plain "Mr. Milne" to the members of his platoon. He retired to the farm after a stroke and brain surgery in 1952 left him an invalid, and by August 1953 "he seemed very old and disenchanted"

Career

· It was at Cambridge that Milne’s first stint at writing showed up. Along with his brother Ken, Milne wrote and edited for a student magazine, Granta. Also, during this period came Milne’s first work, “Lovers in London”.

· He, next, turned to writing articles for a British satirical magazine, Punch.

· Not long after, he gained the position of an assistant editor at Punch.

· Milne generated 18 plays and 3 novels in this phase of his life.

· In 1920, Milne made his debut as a screenwriter, by writing four stories for the company Minerva Films, “The Bump”, “Twice Two”, “Five Pound Reward” and “Bookworms”.

· Four years later, he came up with his first collection of children's poems “When We Were Very Young”.

· Meanwhile, inspired by his son’s stuffed toys, Milne wrote a Christmas story for the Evening News about a boy named Christopher Robin and his Teddy Bear. This was the first official appearance of the honey-loving bear, Winnie the Pooh.

· The book was published in London on October 14th, 1926. Milne’s then, recently bought country home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex served as the setting for most of the Pooh stories.

· The following year, came Alan’s second book of children's poetry “Now We Are Six”. “The House at Pooh Corner”, the second book of the Pooh series was published in 1928.

· Later, Milne concentrated on writing plays and released several works of his, which included The Ivory Door, Toad of Toad Hall (adaptation of The Wind in the Willows), Michael and Mary, Other People's Lives, Miss Elizabeth Bennet, Sarah Simple, Gentleman Unknown, The General Takes Off His Helmet, The Ugly Duckling and Before the Flood.

· “Year in, Year out” was the last book published by Alan in 1952.

The book acclaimed great success.

Personal Life & Legacy

· Milne married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913, and their only son, Christopher Robin Milne, was born in 1920.

· In October 1952, Alan had a stroke, which left him invalid more than three years, before he breathed his last on January 31, 1956.

· Posthumously, Milne won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958.

· There were four beneficiaries for the rights to the Pooh books, which included his family, the Royal Literary Fund, Westminster School and the Garrick Club.

· In 1961, Dorothy sold her part of the rights of the Pooh Books to the Walt Disney Company, which further immortalized Milne’s creation by chalking out a cartoon series of the same. The company went ahead and started selling merchandise of Winnie the Pooh which was very well received by the audience worldwide.

History of Winnie the Pooh

During the First World War, troops from Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) were being transported to eastern Canada, on their way to Europe, where they were to join the 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade. When the train stopped at White River, Ontario, a lieutenant called Harry Colebourn bought a small female black bear cub for $20 from a hunter who had killed its mother. He named her 'Winnipeg', after his hometown of Winnipeg, or 'Winnie' for short.

Winnie became the mascot of the Brigade and went to Britain with the unit. When the Brigade was posted to the battlefields of France, Colebourn, now a Captain took Winnie to the London Zoo for a long loan. He formally presented the London Zoo with Winnie in December 1919 where he became a popular attraction and lived until 1934.

The bear was also very popular with Christopher Robin, son of author A.A. Milne. It was his favourite animal at the Zoo, and he often spent time inside the cage with it. The bear was Christopher Robin's inspiration for calling his own teddy bear Winnie... Winnie the Pooh (this teddy bear started out with the name of Edward Bear). The name Pooh originally belonged to a swan, as can be seen in the introduction of Milne's 'When We Were Very Young'.

A.A. Milne started to write a series of books about Winnie the Pooh, his son Christopher Robin, and their friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. These other characters, such as Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga and Roo were also based on stuffed animals belonging to Christopher Robin. The characters, Rabbit and Owl, were based on animals that lived, like the swan Pooh, in the surrounding area of Milne's country home, Cotchford Farm in Ashdown Forest, Sussex. It is this area on which the 100-Acre-Wood was based.

'Winnie-the-Pooh' was published by Methuen on October 14th, 1926, the verses 'Now we are Six' in 1927, and 'The House at Pooh Corner' in 1928. All these books were illustrated in a beautiful way by E.H. Shepard, which made the books even more magical. The Pooh-books became firm favorites with old and young alike and have been translated into almost every known language. A conservative figure for the total sales of the four Methuen editions (including When We Were Very Young) up to the end of 1996 would be over 20 million copies. These figures do not include sales of the four books published by Dutton in Canada and the States, nor the foreign-language editions printed in more than 25 languages the world over!

The Pooh-books had also been favorites of Walt Disney's daughters and it inspired Disney to bring Pooh to film in 1966. In 1977 'the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh', the first feature-length animated film of Pooh was released. In 1993, the Walt Disney Company acknowledged that Pooh Bear is second only to Mickey Mouse in their portfolio of the most-loved and trusted characters known to millions of people all over the world. By 1996, after the second release of 'the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh', the Bear of Very Little Brain had proven to be more popular than any other Disney character. In 1997, twenty years after the release of the first feature-length animated film, Disney released 'Pooh's Grand Adventure', picking up where Disney's 22nd Masterpiece left off. In February 2000 Disney released the third Winnie the Pooh movie called 'The Tigger Movie', this time with the leading part for Tigger.
