'His father, having seen the horrors of war and the rising tide of fascism, [View all]
retreated to the countryside to start a family and find peace. He would have a son, who was born on August 21, 1920.
The father would write a series of books about a little boy who would peacefully play in the forest with creatures of all different shapes, colors, and sizes, supporting each other as true friends and preaching calm, peaceful love.
One of the toys the little boy loved was an Alpha Farnell teddy bear, which he named "Edward." The young boy eventually accumulated a collection of similar stuffed animals, which became his "friends." The young boy also enjoyed visiting a real Canadian bear at the London Zoo. The bear's name was "Winnipeg."
The young boy's name was Christopher Robin Milne, and his father was A.A. Milne, who would write a series of books based on the adventures of Christopher Robin and "Winnie-the-Pooh."

This was one of the earliest stories on The Peace Page, originally published in 2017.
Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
Pooh? he whispered.
Yes, Piglet?
Nothing, said Piglet, taking Poohs hand.
I just wanted to be sure of you.
A.A. Milne
