On this day, January 18, in 1882, Alan Alexander (“A. A.”) Milne was born in London, England. The creator of the beloved tales of Winnie-the-Pooh was actually frustrated with the success of the Pooh books, as they overshadowed all of his other works (including over 50 novels, plays, and poetry collections). Interestingly enough, he had his share of literary encounters: one of his teachers in public school was H. G. Wells, and as a young man he played for an amateur cricket team alongside J. M. Barrie (Peter Pan) and Arthur Conan Doyle (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes). He died at age 74 after being invalided by a stroke and subsequent brain surgery.
