| | Pooh Corner: BIOGRAPHIES: CHRISTOPHER ROBIN MILNE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28) |
 | | As he watched his father, Alan Alexander Milne, pipe in mouth, on the putting green at Cotchford, the young country-lover was innnocently unaware of the literary adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh, which had begun during the wet Welsh summer of 1923 and the effect the bear would have on his life. |
 | | During these adventurous years, Christopher began frequently, and often rudely, to be mistaken for the Christopher Robin portrayed in his father's books, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, and in poems such as Vespers, Buckingham Palace, The Engineer, Lines and Squares, In the Dark, James James Morrison Morrison. |
 | | Christopher shared with his father a passion for pure mathematics and took up a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge after leaving Stowe school; but the coming of World War II made it impossible for him to enjoy his success and he enlisted in the Royal Engineers. |
