Christopher Milne, who died in 1996, later claimed his father had exploited his childhood. The first collection of Winnie-the-Pooh stories was published in 1926, with the House at Pooh Corner following two years later. Four years later a map of Hundred Acre Wood reached £350,000. In 2014, EH Shepard’s illustration of Pooh, Christopher Robin and Piglet playing Poohsticks sold at auction for more than £300,000. The price achieved in sealed bids was “a reflection of its place as a national treasure, but more importantly it will be cared for and loved”. Christopher Robin could just get his chin on to the top rail, if he wanted to, but it was more fun to stand on the bottom rail, so that he could lean right over, and watch the river slipping slowly away beneath him.” – AA Milne, The House at Pooh Corner There’s so much badness in the world, but Winnie-the-Pooh always brings a smile to your face.” “There was a wooden bridge, almost as broad as a road, with wooden rails on each side of it. He added: “Winnie-the-Pooh’s attraction is the innocence of a bygone age it’s so wholesome. Now, said Rylands, Winnie-the-Pooh fans would again be able to set eyes on it, although games of Poohsticks may be ruled out in order to preserve the bridge for future generations. It was later reconstructed and restored, and relocated to Kent after a private sale. ![]() The original bridge was dismantled and placed in storage. It was replaced with a replica in 1999 after visits by thousands of people keen to recreate the famous EH Shepard drawing of Christopher Robin leaning over the railings left it worn and rickety.Īn EH Shepard illustration for Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne. The original wooden structure was built from oak in 1907 to carry pedestrians, horses and carts over a river in Ashdown Forest, the setting for the Pooh stories and poems. Rylands said the bridge was “going back home”. “But we are thrilled the bridge will stay in the UK – it’s a really happy ending and we couldn’t have hoped for anything better.”Īccording to Rylands, De La Warr’s father used to play Poohsticks with Christopher Robin Milne, the only child of AA Milne, who was the inspiration for the children’s books along with his collection of soft toys. The bridge would “take pride of place on the estate close to its original position”, he said.ĭescribing the structure as “an iconic piece of literary history in physical form”, James Rylands, the director of Summers Place Auctions which held the sale, said there had been interest from potential buyers in many countries. De La Warr said he was delighted to be the successful bidder.
