Dear friends! On October 14, Winnie the Pooh bear celebrates his birthday. So let's find out the story of this beloved teddy bear.
The teddy bear Winnie the Pooh was born as a character in the works of Alan Alexander Milne. He became one of the most famous heroes children's literature of the 20th century. Winnie the bear got his name from one of the real toys of the son of the writer Christopher Robin.
In 1921, Alan Milne gave his son a teddy bear purchased from a department store for his birthday. After meeting his owner Christopher Robin, he received the name Winnie the Pooh. Later, the bear cub became Christopher’s “inseparable companion.”
It was the boy’s friendship with his favorite teddy bear that became the reason for the creation of works about the adventures of Winnie the Pooh. On December 24, 1925, the first chapter of Milne's book was published in the London Evening News. The first book was published as a separate edition on October 14, 1926 in London. The second book about Winnie the Pooh, entitled “The House at Pooh Edge,” was published in 1928.
The writer also published two more collections of children's poems. In 1924 - “When We Were Very Little” and in 1927 - “Now We Are Six,” which contain several poems about Winnie the Pooh.
Alan Milne's prose about Winnie the Pooh is a duology. However, of the two published books, each is divided into 10 independent stories with their own plot. Therefore, all these stories can be read independently of each other.
Although the teddy bear was given to Christopher Robin on August 21, 1921, his actual birthday is considered October 14, 1926, when the first Winnie the Pooh book was published, despite the fact that some of its fragments were published earlier.
The adventures of Winnie the Pooh have become a favorite read for many generations of children; they have been translated into 25 languages (including Latin) and published in tens of millions of copies.
Christopher Robin's teddy bear Winnie the Pooh was named after a female bear named Winnipeg (Winnie), who was kept at London Zoo in the 1920s.
The Winnipeg Bear (American black bear) came to the UK as the live mascot of the Canadian Army Veterinary Corps from Canada, specifically from the outskirts of the city of Winnipeg. She ended up in the Fort Harry Horse cavalry regiment on August 24, 1914, while still a cub (she was bought from a Canadian hunter for twenty dollars by the 27-year-old regimental veterinarian, Lieutenant Harry Colborne, who took care of her in the future). Already in October of the same year, the bear cub was brought along with the troops to Britain, and since the regiment was supposed to be transported to France during the First World War, in December it was decided to leave the animal until the end of the war in the London Zoo. Londoners fell in love with the bear, and the military did not object to not taking her from the zoo even after the war. Until the end of her days (she died on May 12, 1934), the bear was on the payroll of the veterinary corps, about which a corresponding inscription was made on her cage in 1919.
In 1924, Alan Milne first came to the zoo with his four-year-old son, who truly became friends with Winnie. After Christopher met Winnie the bear, the teddy bear was named in her honor. Subsequently, the bear was Christopher’s “inseparable companion”: “every child has a favorite toy, and every child who is alone in the family especially needs it.”
In September 1981, 61-year-old Christopher Robin Milne unveiled a life-size monument to Winnie the Bear at London Zoo.

Origin of the character
Christopher Robin's teddy bear Winnie the Pooh was named after a female bear named Winnipeg (Winnie), who was kept at London Zoo in the 1920s.
The Winnipeg Bear (American black bear) came to the UK as the live mascot of the Canadian Army Veterinary Corps from Canada, specifically from the outskirts of the city of Winnipeg. She ended up in the Fort Harry Horse cavalry regiment on August 24, 1914, while still a cub (she was bought from a Canadian hunter for twenty dollars by the 27-year-old regimental veterinarian, Lieutenant Harry Colborne, who took care of her in the future). Already in October of the same year, the bear cub was brought along with the troops to Britain, and since the regiment was supposed to be transported to France during the First World War, in December it was decided to leave the animal until the end of the war in the London Zoo. Londoners fell in love with the bear, and the military did not object to not taking her from the zoo even after the war. Until the end of her days (she died on May 12, 1934), the bear was on the payroll of the veterinary corps, about which a corresponding inscription was made on her cage in 1919.
In 1924, Alan Milne first came to the zoo with his four-year-old son, who truly became friends with Winnie. After Christopher met Winnie the bear, the teddy bear was named in her honor. Subsequently, the bear was Christopher’s “inseparable companion”: “every child has a favorite toy, and every child who is alone in the family especially needs it.”
In September 1981, 61-year-old Christopher Robin Milne unveiled a life-size monument to Winnie the Bear at London Zoo.
Cartoons
Naturally, such popular hero, like Winnie the Pooh, could not go unnoticed by the directors. And after 1961, the Disney studio first released short cartoons, and then many different cartoons about Winnie the Pooh on plots no longer related to the work of writer Alan Milne.
Further on the topic of these incredible stories and the adventures of friends in the Wonderful Forest, even a musical for children was released. Some literary critics They even claim that “Pooh became the most famous and beloved bear in literature.”
In our country, a cycle of three cartoons by Fyodor Khitruk, co-authored with Boris Zakhoder (1969-1972), has become especially popular. While working on the film, the director did not know about the existence of Disney cartoons about Winnie the Pooh. Later, according to Khitruk, Disney director Wolfgang Reiterman liked his version. At the same time, the fact that Soviet cartoons were created without taking into account the exclusive film rights owned by the Disney studio made it impossible for them to be shown abroad and participate in international film festivals.
Winnie the Pooh in our country
In the magazine “Murzilka” for 1939, the first two chapters of Milne’s fairy tale were published - “About Winnie Poo the Bear and the Bees” (No. 1) and “About how Winnie Poo went to visit and got into trouble” (No. 9) in translation A. Koltynina and O. Galanina. The author's name was not indicated, the subtitle was " English fairy tale" This translation uses the names Winnie Poo, Piglet and Christopher Robin
The first complete translation of “Winnie the Pooh” in the USSR was published in 1958 in Lithuania, it was carried out by 20-year-old Lithuanian writer Virgilius Chepaitis, who used the Polish translation by Irena Tuwim. Subsequently, Chepaitis, having become acquainted with the English original, significantly revised his translation, which was republished in Lithuania several times.
In 1958, Boris Zakhoder looked through the English children's encyclopedia. “It was love at first sight: I saw a picture of a cute bear cub, read several poetic quotes - and rushed to look for the book.”
Zakhoder always emphasized that his book was not a translation, but a retelling, the fruit of Milne’s co-creation and “re-creation” in Russian, and insisted on his (co)authorship of it. Indeed, his text does not always literally follow the original. A number of discoveries not found in Milne (for example, the various titles of Pooh's songs - Noisemakers, Screamers, Vopilki, Sopelki, Pyhtelki - or Piglet's famous question: “Does the Heffalump love piglets? And how does he love them?”), fits well into the context of the work . Milne also does not have a complete parallel in the widespread use of capital letters (Unknown Who, Relatives and Friends of the Rabbit), frequent personification inanimate objects(Pooh approaches the “familiar puddle”), more “fairytale” vocabulary, not to mention a few hidden references to Soviet reality
Authentic Christopher Robin toys:
Thanks to Boris Zakhoder’s retelling of “Winnie the Pooh and Everything, Everything, Everything,” and then the films of the Soyuzmultfilm studio, where the bear was voiced by Evgeniy Leonov, Winnie the Pooh became very popular in our country.
The place of Winnie the Pooh in Milne's work
The series about Winnie the Pooh eclipsed all of Milne’s quite diverse and popular adult works of his time: “he cut off his path back to “adult” literature. All his attempts to escape from the clutches of the toy bear were unsuccessful.” Milne himself had a hard time with this set of circumstances, did not consider himself a children's writer and argued that he writes for children with the same responsibility as for adults.
Continuation
In 2009, a sequel to the Winnie the Pooh books, Return to the Enchanted Forest, was released in the UK, approved by the Pooh Properties Trust. The author of the book was David Benedictus, who strives to closely imitate the style and composition of Milnov's prose. The book's illustrations also focus on maintaining Shepard's style. Return to the Enchanted Forest has been translated into several languages.
The management company The Pooh Properties Trust was formed under the will of A. A. Milne. In 1961, the trustees of the foundation, Mrs. Milne and Spencer Curtis Brown, ceded exclusive rights to produce films about Winnie the Pooh to the company Walt Disney. A. A. Milne's son, Christopher Robin Milne, sold his rights to other owners to raise money for the treatment of his daughter Claire, who had cerebral palsy.
