It's kinda creepy because once you know the real story is kinda sad but it is nice to hear the actual voice of the boy who was apart of my childhood and inspired my favorite bear. Thank you for sharing this.
Margaret Tudor Don't believe everything you see in the movies. There's not any actual documentation where Christopher Robin was bullied in school. That film took a lot of liberties to make the story better
Christopher Robin's book was called "The Enchanted Places". He was indeed bullied and wrote that his classmates endlessly taunted him with this 78 record. I believe at the end of the school year the children gave to it him, after accepting he later smashed it and threw the pieces away. He did enjoy singing in the school choir though.
When Christopher Milne was at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire in the early-to-mid thirties, his school-mates obtained a copy of this record and played it incessantly to make fun of him. That and other send-ups were crushing for him. Eventually the joke wore off and they let him take the record, and Christopher smashed it into a hundred small pieces and 'scattered it in a far field'. The mantle of Christopher Robin didn't get much better for him or his creator father later in life. My Aunt was born within a couple of months of Christopher Robin Milne in 1920, and she died in July this year at 101, which puts the time in perspective for me. She had the books as a girl, though her younger sister, my mother, was at a better age to appreciate them when they reached their house. In the 80s I had my Wodehouse craze, and telling my aunt how I was enjoying them, I couldn't understand why she seemed to dismiss them as 'nonsense' in the way she did when they're so good - I only later learned of the feud between Alan Milne and Wodehouse because of what happened in the war. Wasn't just Milne of course. Not a great episode, but I think Wodehouse is largely forgiven. For the Milnes, rarely has something that has given the world so much pleasure caused so much pain for the creator and subject. You have to wonder if, later in life, they could have been more positive about it, but the teasing and perceived exploitation of Christopher as a boy was just too much for him to take.
i ended up crying while listening to this song ;-; honestly this is the first time i've heard of the real Christopher Robin so yeh... but anyways yes, i ended up crying while listening to his beautiful singing and the beautiful music... QwQ
I can't say I blame you there. It's a bittersweet recording to hear once you've learned the real Christopher Robin Milne's story about his life during and after the books came out.
It sure is! Recorded in 1929, not long after The House At Pooh Corner was released. It's pretty damn rare, but I was lucky enough to afford a copy of it on Ebay.

Sad and sweet. So long ago! This little boy and his bear became world famous but sadly he was bullied for it by his peers as he grew up. :'(

It's sad hearing this knowing what him and his whole family was going through

Once you know the voices of the Disney's version compare to the real children's novels, you can tell that the recording from 1928 through 1929.
Creeeepy but cool.

It sure is! Recorded in 1929, not long after The House At Pooh Corner was released. It's pretty damn rare, but I was lucky enough to afford a copy of it on Ebay.
