BIOGRAFIA
Alan Alexander Milne (Londres, 18 de enero de 1882 – Sussex, 31 de enero de 1956) fue un escritor británico, conocido por ser el creador de Winnie the Pooh.
Escritor de cuentos infantiles, Milne escribió varias obras de teatro de fantasía que fueron famosas durante los años veinte y parte de los treinta, cuando la gente empezó a conocerle como escritor infantil. Aunque no se inició como tal, ya que escribió varias novelas de su época y una policíaca en 1922.
Fue por querer escribir cuentos para su hijo Christopher (1920-1996), cuando en 1926 nació un oso llamado Winnie the Pooh. Era un osito de trapo que tenía su hijo y, utilizando ese oso de peluche como protagonista, le contaba a su hijo Christopher cuentos sobre el maravilloso mundo de fantasía de Pooh y sus amigos. Después de cautivar la atención de todo el mundo, Winnie de Pooh y sus amigos Kanga y Roo, Eeyore el burro, el travieso Tigger, Rabbit y Owl y el compañero inseparable cerdito Piglet fueron llevados al cine de la mano de Walt Disney.
INGLES
Alan Alexander Milne was born in Kilburn, London to parents John Vine Milne, who was born in Jamaica, and Sarah Marie Milne (née Heginbotham) and grew up at Henley House School, 6/7 Mortimer Road (now Crescent), Kilburn, a small public school run by his father. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells, who taught there in 1889–90. Milne attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge where he studied on a mathematics scholarship, graduating with a B.A. in Mathematics in 1903. He edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor. Milne played for the amateur English cricket team the Allahakbarries alongside authors J. M. Barrie and Arthur Conan Doyle.

PÁRRAFO DE EL LIBRO ORIGINAL
When I first heard his name, I said, just as you are going to say, "But I thought he was a boy?"
"So did I," said Christopher Robin.
"Then you can't call him Winnie?"
"I don't."
"But you said ----"
"He's Winnie-ther-Pooh. Don't you know what 'ther' means?"
"Ah, yes, now I do," I said quickly; and I hope you do too, because it is all the explanation you are going to get.
