Alan Alexander Milne 1882-1956 was a British author best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various poems. Milne was a noted writer primarily as a playwright before the huge success of the Pooh books overshadowed all his previous work. He is most famous for his two Pooh books about a boy named Christopher Robin after his son Christopher Robin Milne and various characters inspired by his son's stuffed animals most notably the bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Christopher Robin Milne's stuffed bear originally named "Edward" was renamed "Winnie" after a Canadian black bear named Winnie after Winnipeg which was used as a military mascot in World War I and left to London Zoo during the war. "The pooh" comes from a swan the young Milne named "Pooh." E. H. Shepard illustrated the original Pooh books using his own son's teddy Growler "a magnificent bear" as the model. Ernest Howard Shepard OBE MC 1879-1976 was an English artist and book illustrator. He is known especially for illustrations of the anthropomorphic soft toy and animal characters in The Wind in the Willows and Winnie-the-Pooh. <br/><br/> London: Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1924-28 hardcover

William Combe 1741-1823 "prolific English writer of miscellaneous prose and satirical verse whose poem The Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of the Picturesque 1812 was one of the most popular books of early 19th-century England.Dr. Syntax was introduced in 1809 in The Poetical Magazine. Combe's first Dr. Syntax book and its successors The Second Tour of Dr. Syntax in Search of Consolation 1820 and The Third Tour.in Search of a Wife 1821 satirize the many 18th- and early 19th-century writers whose 'Tours' 'Travels' and 'Journeys' were vehicles for sententious moralizing uninspired raptures and sentimental accounts of amorous adventures. The popularity of Combe's work owed much to the illustrations of Thomas Rowlandson. Combe and Rowlandson also collaborated on The English Dance of Death 1815 which contains some of Combe's best verse and The Dance of Life 1816-17" Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature.
