Guildford Guildhall
“A beautiful keepsake book … perfect for anyone who loves AA Milne’s Bear of Very Little Brain and art in general.
”
The Men Who Created Winnie-the-Pooh is the untold story of author AA Milne and illustrator EH Shepard, two extraordinary men who created some of the best-loved and most enduring fictional characters in British history. Published ahead of Winnie-the-Pooh’s centenary and with the support of their families, James Campbell tells the fascinating tale of how Milne and Shepard, two very different characters, met in the 1920’s before coming together to change children’s literature forever.
