Goodbye Christopher Robin

AA Milne and the Making of Winnie-the-Pooh

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

The Christopher Robin tales offered a magical glimpse of childhood innocence to a public traumatised by the First World War. This book tells how they brought Milne, an established playwright, success and wealth – but not the kind he wanted. Like his contemporaries Conan Doyle and Barrie, he came to be defined by one creation which eclipsed his other work, and would also overshadow the life of his son.
