Canadian Celebrity Winnie the Pooh Honoured by Canadian Post

Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Saunders.

"It means he had the name over the door in gold letters, and lived under it." "Winnie-the-Pooh wasn't quite sure," said Christopher Robin. "Now I am," said a growly voice.

"Then I will go on," said I.)

In Which We Are Introduced to Winnie-the-Pooh and Some Bees, and the Stories Begin..A.A. Milne. A Tale From WINNIE-THE-POOH and A Smackerel Of Verse.

Since 1926 when A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh was first published, the world of Pooh has been a source of enchantment and adventure of young and old alike. Within the past year, a man who had been a part of almost every childs life whom A.A. Milne & Winnie-the-Pooh had touched, "Christopher Robin" Milne, his son passed away. He was in his late 70's. The Hundred Acre Wood's will never be the same.

You too can celebrate Winnie The Pooh and his creation by purchasing from Canadian Post, the special commerative stamps issued in his honour and discovery.
