This charming book tells the true story of the real-life bear who inspired Winnie the Pooh! Winnie, or 'Winnipeg' was bought on a train platform by a Canadian army veterinarian going into World War I.  She became the mascot of his army base, and was later moved to London Zoo where she was visited by Christopher Robin and A.A. Milne. And the rest, as they say, is history... Please note this is a second hand book. Format: Hardback.   Condition: Very good used condition.
