Welcome to the wonderful world of Winnie the Pooh and his friends.

All fabie you want respect as their incipit the famous "once upon a time…", in this case, my dear friends say that this is a story in history. Let me explain better: the work stems from an idea or better from a fantasy of Mr Milne. His son Robin Chrisotfer loved plush and especially not away ever by Edward, her beloved teddy bear rag. One day Chrisotfer Milne brought to the zoo in London where he was Winniepeg, a puppy of bears given as a gift to the zoo after the First World War by Mr Colebourn, a Canadian official veterinarian. Given the sweet and tender character of this teddy bear, which became in a short time, the mascot of all the children of London, was nicknamed Winnie. The enthusiasm of the young Christofer to see Winnie increased day by day and the father, to make it happy, did not hesitate to accompany him over and over again to the zoo. But often the visits are not enough and so every night Milne told stories of goodnight making of Winnie the protagonist. Christofer renamed his plush Winnie. Soon night to the stories about Winnie joined other new characters: Ih-oh, Pimpi, Tigro, Kanga, Rho, cap and Uffa. From these tales had also originally a series of stories still read by many children… .. and not just J

The first episode was published in the Christmas of the London Evening News and had as its object the flight dell'orsetto with a balloon. In this then followed the stories on the radio: the success of Milne grew increasingly so in 1926 was published in the form of the novel first collection of the best stories under the name "Winnie the Puh." Needless mensionare the success that had…. Followed then "Now we are six" and "The house at Pooh corner." Following were illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard that before drawing Winnie wanted to spend time with Christofer and its rag dolls.

The fantasy had become the grove near the house of Christofer l 'to our knowledge "of the 100 Acre Wood" and Winnie the Pooh a bear who loved composing poems and was terribly greedy honey.

The rights of the author passed in 1929 in the hands of Stephen Slesinger and in 1961 the Walt Disney Winnie, who had become the protagonist of a series of cartoons that reflected the first line of false stories Milne and then new ones. The disney in creating the "new" Winnie took their cue from Shepard illustrations that then became the "Classic Pooh" and addolcendo eliminado but some sections in order to make harmonious and simple design of this tender and (let me say) smielato teddy bear.

In my opinion, why after many years, this sweet teddy tender and emoziona still fascinates children and adults is the teaching that we transmit through these stories seemingly simple and elementary in fact reveal a rich content of life and very significant.
