The Milnes wanted a girl. They were going to name her Rosemary, and right up until August 21, 1920, the day Christopher Robin was born, they were sure they were they were going to get a girl. When Christopher was born a boy, they barely even tried to hide their disappointment. “We did rather want a Rosemary,” A.A. Milne wrote to a friend just a few...
A.A. Milne might seem like the perfect father, but when his pen wasn’t pressed to paper, he didn’t have the gift with childrenyou’re imagine. “I am not inordinately fond of [children],” he once told an interviewer. He felt no more sentimental toward them, he said, “than one becomes for a moment over a puppy or a kitten.” For the early years of his ...
The spark of the stories, according to Christopher Robin, didn’t come from any special bonding moment between a father and a son. A.A. Milne got the idea for Winnie-the-Pooh from talking to his wife. “It was my mother who used to come and play in the nursery with me and tell him about the things I thought and did,” Christopher Robin would later say...
Winnie-the-Poohwas an instant success. By the time Christopher Robin had turned seven, a book starring him as the hero was in the hands of nearly every child in the English-speaking word. A.A. Milne was a sensation—but nowhere near as popular as his son. Milne noticed almost immediately that the swarms of fans who came out to see him were nowhere n...
Christopher Robin quickly found himself wishing his name were anything but. When he was nine years old, he enrolled in a boarding school and, for the first time, learned just how difficult being famous was going to be. He was bulliedand beaten by his classmates almost the second he entered the school, partly for his girlish mannerisms and clothes a...
The pressure of being Christopher Robin only got worse. The books never lost the slightest hint of their fame. Christopher Robin was a boy from whom the whole world expected great things—but as an adult, by the 1950s, he’d risen up to nothing more than a job selling lampshades. “I hadn’t been trained for anything,” Christopher Robin explained.“My n...
Christopher Robin’s parentsdreamed he’d marry Anne Darlington, the little girl they’d treated like the daughter they’d always wanted when he was young. Frankly, though, they’d have been happy with Christopher marrying almost anyone other than the woman he did—because Lesley de Selincourt was his first cousin. Lesley was the daughter of his mother’s...
For A.A. Milne, the most troubling thing about his son’s choice in wife was what would become of their children. Any grandchildren they gave him would be the product of incest. He was terrified they would be born deformed. He wasn’t far off. Christopher and Lesley’s only child, a girl named Clare, was born with severe cerebral palsy and a whole sle...
When he was still a boy, Christopher Robin once cursed his father, saying, “One day I will write verses about him and see how he likes it.” He made good on his promise. First, he gave an interview in which he scathed his parents in front of the world, describing them as cold, detached, and nearly completely absent figures in his life. Then he publi...
After leaving his parents’ home, Christopher Robin never held the stuffed bear that inspired Winnie-the-Pooh again. He left it with his father, who, when Christopher Robin grew up and got married, gave it to his publisher, E.P. Dutton. Forty years later, Dutton gave Christopher the chance to take his old bear back—but Christopher Robin refused. He ...
