Forming one of the earliest author and illustrator partnerships, AA Milne and EH Shepard worked closely together in the 1920s to create some of the worlds best-loved childrens characters. This illustrated volume reveals the depth of that partnership, and incorporates many of Shepards previously unpublished sketches, letters, photos and even a personal Christmas card. The real inspiration for Winnie-the-Pooh is revealed to be Shepards sons teddy bear, Growler, still owned by granddaughter Minette Shepard, who provides the introduction.
