      Kevin Clepps some of it your right about. According to Wikipedia Christopher Robin’s relationship with his father started to fall after World War II, but before that happened his father was able to help him get into the Royal Army of Engineers after he failed the medical examination. So some of Christopher and A. A. Milne’s relationship was close before and during WWII because they both served. His father was part of the Royal British Home Guard during the war. Winnie the Pooh wasn’t written until 1926 after Christopher got Edward Bear.

      v44n A. A. Milne also serves in World War II. He was a member of the Royal British Home Guard while Christopher was a member of the Royal British Engineers after he failed the medical examination. His father helped get him into the military following that, but their relationship began to fall after the war.

    I always thought it was a very sad story.. the saga of the Milne family. Truthfully I felt for Christopher. I always thought it was most likely the effect of the bullying he received at boarding school that turned him against his Father and the Pooh stories. He never had any problem with the stories until he started boarding school. He actually said the very day he started school is when his love-hate relationship with the stories began. Kids can be very cruel, and they can cause people life long problems, I know this only too well from my own school days. I recall reading him saying that the worst of all was the Vespers poem (That Christopher Robin is saying his prayers one). If I remember right he burnt and tore up copies into thousands of pieces.. that shows some major trauma.
    However, I don't think he "hated" Pooh at all, (how could anyone hate that bear?!) probably the opposite, just that his love for Pooh had been exploited in his mind.. everyone has a spot in their heart for their childhood soft toys. It was just that the privacy of that was stolen from him, and in turn, it was a source of embarrassment for him.. that something special like his childhood was publicised in such a intrusive way, world famous books. When he went to boarding school all the other boys mocked him for being Christopher Robin.. he resented his Father for writing the stories with him and his toys in them. They way he saw it, it was his Father's fault for writing about him, rather than the other boys who tormented him. I can somewhat relate to that.. when we get bullied we find ways to blame it on someone we love rather than the bullies.
    Ultimately, in Christopher's case.. it just wasn't his childhood anymore.. everyone knew about it. He never got a choice in the matter. His Father probably didn't mean any harm.. just naive likely thought what harm was he doing, writing a story about a little boy and his bear, just, like many parents he never thought about it from Christopher's point of view, at least not until it was too late and the books were world famous.
    After all, I'm glad he found peace with the Pooh stories in later years. I heard he sold the books from his bookshop. I once heard the original Winnie and the others were on display in a local pub, I think possibly AA Milne had given them to it.. probably kept there on display in a cabinet or shelf as sort of an attraction. The pub owner offered them back to Christopher when he visited the pub.. he said he would be glad to give them to him if he wanted them back.. which I thought was very nice of the pub owner. However Christopher declined. Who knows, maybe it was for the best.. they are still in existence (except for Roo I think, who sadly was lost sometime in the 20s) and on display in a museum I believe. They were recently restored.

      That was very interesting. Boarding schools were hellish experiences for many people in the olden days. My father went to a British boarding school. He said that the prefects used to be given the task of hitting the "bad" boys' bottoms with a wooden bat. The prefect would stand back and take a run so as to inflict the maximum pain. My father used to sometimes steal food off my plate to help me to learn not to trust anyone, because he had had to learn that lesson as a child. He tried hard to give us children a much happier childhood than he had had but the scars from his own experiences were still there.

      She said to me once years later she was driving through some of the countryside and suddenly had a very cold dark feeling over her. It wasn’t until later that she realised she was driving less than a mile or so from her old boarding school and somehow her body instinctively recognised the area .
      The honest truth is you’re right he should have blamed the bullies not his father but then again he could argue to himself that his father presented them with the weapons and ammunition to attack.

    Its interesting how creating an iconic character always seems to come back to bite that person in the backside later on. Everything else that's created after that is critiqued and compared to that one thing, and never really accepted as its own stand alone piece. It almost makes you wonder if making that creation was worth the effort, if it consumes the rest of your life and overshadows everything else you do from then on.

    I was no stranger to the history of Winnie the Pooh as I learnt about it in a short documentary on The Book of Pooh DVD.
    I've always remembered Christopher Robin as a happy-go-lucky kid who was wise beyond his years only to realise that's just the fictional version of him in both the books and Disney's counterpart. After watching Goodbye, Christopher Robin. It made me see him in a brand new light, a very dark light where the real him hated Pooh. (or at least the popularity of him).
    Winnie the Pooh has always been my childhood since the late 90s and the 2000s, and after learning the full history of him, not only did it give me a new perspective on Christopher Robin, but it made me appreciate the franchise a lot more.

    It’s sad to think that. And it’s even sad to think his relationship with his parents were so damaged. Especially his mother as at least he spoke with his father.
    I think, if his father not used his sons name it might’ve been easier for Christopher Robin if he wasn’t teased so much he could’ve actually looked back and realised that his father was writing about him not just because of money but because he was his inspiration.
    Why were the stuffed animals though donated to the New York museum?
    They were a British story shouldn’t they be in the London museum?

    Says Christopher Robin died in 1996 but earlier Disney bought all the rights in 2001 for 350 million and he refused to take the money. How can you take the money if he was already deceased? Who did Disney purchase the rights from?

      Prior to 2001, the rights were merely licensed. In 2001, the rights were sold outright by the estate.

    Way to blame the parents for the illness of their child! Clare had cerebral palsy. The most common causes of that condition are injury before or during birth. Only about 2% of all cases are thought to be genetic, so it's pretty insensitive to assume Clare's was as a knee-jerk reaction to "eww, they were COUSINS?!?!" ... for most of human history, and still in several parts of the world, cousin marriage is the norm and, while you sure as hell wouldn't catch me marrying any of MY nutjob relatives, it generally only leads to problems if there's already a family history of said problems.

      Aaan no one is ever part of the 2 percent? Then why is there a percent? They were first cousins also sharing some of the same genetics.
