Home of Winnie-the-Pooh

If you find yourself in a sticky situation, surrounded by honey pots and daydreams, you might just be celebrating National Winnie-the-Pooh Day! Today marks the birthday of AA Milne, the creator of the lovable, honey-obsessed bear who taught us that sometimes the best adventures happen when you're not looking for them. The writer introduced the world to Pooh in 1926, and he quickly became a household name. Milne's writing was inspired by his own son, Christopher Robin, and his toy bear—a story that began in a small nursery and turned into a global phenomenon.
