A A Milne was, in his prime, most famous as a playwright, who wrote 18 plays, as well as a good detective story, still in print, called The Red House Mystery.
But when he wrote a handful of stories and poem books for his little son, Christopher Robin Milne, their explosive success obliterated everything else he had ever done, or ever would do, and ever since then, to his own dismay, he has been known only as the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh.
