Winnie-the-Pooh
, also called
Pooh Bear
and
Pooh
, is a fictional
anthropomorphic
teddy bear
created by English author
A. A. Milne
and English illustrator
E. H. Shepard
.
The first collection of stories about the character was the book
Winnie-the-Pooh
(1926), and this was followed by
The House at Pooh Corner
(1928). Milne also included a poem about the bear in the children's verse book
When We Were Very Young
(1924) and many more in
Now We Are Six
(1927). All four volumes were illustrated by
E. H. Shepard
.
In 1961,
Walt Disney Productions
licensed certain film and other rights of Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories from the estate of
A. A. Milne
and the licensing agent
Stephen Slesinger, Inc.
, and adapted the Pooh stories, using the
unhyphenated
name "Winnie the Pooh", into
a series of features
that would eventually become one of its most successful franchises.
