This page is dedicated to the wonderful stories found in the books, Winnie-The-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, written by A. A. Milne and illustrated by E. H. Shepard. These books were first published in the 1920s, and star the familiar characters of Piglet, Owl, Rabbit, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, Christopher Robin, and Edward Bear, commonly known as Winnie-the-Pooh.

Miscellaneous Stuff

Since my name is James Milne, lots of people have been asking me if I'm related to A. A. Milne. As far as my family can tell, we're not related. That goes back at least seven generations for me, so even if we do have a common ancestor, the link would be pretty thin. Still, it's fun having the same last name!!
I've got an anonymous FTP directory set up now to make it easier for users to grab some of the images I have. Just:
```
ftp eng1.iastate.edu
login: anonymous.jmilne
password: your_email_address@wherever_you're_from.blah 
```
Or, you could just click here. (I know this works for Netscape...I assume it works on other browsers with FTP capabilities as well...) It's in the pooh directory.
Just when I thought I'd be ready to settle down and do some hard typing on my Christopher Robin page, I get hit with lots of other stuff. People have been sending me lots of Pooh news, and I've been trying to process it all so everyone else can get ahold of it. Good news for those of you who wanted even more information about the Ashdown Forest in England where the stories took place: the Sussex Department of Tourism (or something like that...) just sent me a huge package filled with maps, photos, hiking trail details, etc. I spent last night scanning in a few of those images, and hopefully soon, I'll get all of that information added to my pages. I've also received some information about a hero at Harvard University that saved Pooh's house. Click on the link to find out more. And yes, I really do intend to finish up on Christopher Milne. It's just that all this simpler stuff keeps coming my way and interrupting me. That, and exams. Bother!

This page was last updated February 7, 1997. Added in a story about a student who saved the House at Pooh Corner.
