Description: This story began a hundred years ago when a child became the inspiration for his famous father A. A. Milne who created one of the best known children's characters in recent history. His parents wanted a girl and to begin with treated him as one. They were initially quite distant from him and his upbringing was left to a loyal and loving nanny. Unfortunately this left Christopher Robin Milne terminally shy and lacking in self - confidence. Unable to escape from the shadow of his fictional self he became an object of continued interest from a non - understanding public. His salvation started with being sent away to Stowe School going to Cambridge and joining the Army in the Second World War as a sapper. After an unhappy and directionless time immediately post - war in London he eventually married and very successfully ran a bookshop in the South West for twenty - one years. His life was dominated by a love of the countryside learned at his parents country home Cotchford Farm in Hartfield East Sussex and much later in Devon. How he turned his life round against the odds is the subject of this biography.
