A. A. Milne may not have intended to become a children s book author, but his greatest creation, the honey-loving bear Winnie the Pooh, is so much a part of the culture that one can scarcely imagine children s literature without him. Milne created Pooh to entertain his son, Christopher, which he did and millions of other readers as well.
