Extraordinary Life of A A Milne

VERY few authors can ever dream of coming close to the legacy left by A A Milne. He remains a household name in almost every corner of the globe thanks to a phenomenally popular collection of whimsical children’s stories about a boy named Christopher Robin and his beloved teddy bear.

Generations of children have grown up loving the tales of Winnie The Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood, which are still among the most popular – and profitable – fictional characters in the world.

But while the adorable poems and stories have brought unparalleled joy to millions, Alan Alexander Milne, himself was never able to enjoy the fame and fortune they brought him. He died deeply resenting Pooh’s success, as far as he was concerned those stories were just such a tiny fraction of his literary work, but nothing else he produced came close in terms of public appreciation.

Milne died still unable to reconcile the fact that no matter what else he wrote, regardless of all the plays and stories for adults he had published, he would always be remembered as a children’s storyteller.

And his son, widely hailed as the inspiration for the adorable character of Christopher Robin, could never accept his unique place in literary history either. He had barely reached his teens before he grew to loathe his famous father, who he bitterly accused of exploiting his early years.

The Extraordinary Life of A A Milne delves deep into the life of Milne and sheds light on new places, and tells stories untold.

Foarte putini autori pot visa vreodata sa se apropie de mostenirea lasata de AA Milne. El ramane un nume cunoscut in aproape fiecare colt al globului, datorita unei colectii extrem de populare de povesti capricioase pentru copii despre un baiat pe nume Christopher Robin si iubitul sau ursulet de plus. Generatiile de copii au crescut iubind povestile lui Winnie The Pooh si ale prietenilor sai din The Hundred Acre Wood, care sunt inca printre cele mai populare - si profitabile - personaje fictive din lume. Dar, in timp ce poeziile si povestile adorabile au adus o bucurie de neegalat milioane, Alan Alexander Milne, el insusi nu a putut niciodata sa se bucure de faima si noroc pe care l-au adus.
