Milne similarly narrows his poems to a child's point of view. He saw its immediate boundaries “The village was the world and its happenings all I knew” Lee wrote in Cider with Rosie. In his childhood memoirs, British writer Laurie Lee stepped back into his child shoes and imagined that world anew as an adult. Said, "Sillies, I went and saw the Queen. Why, it's more than a week!" And Emmeline The two tall trees at the end of the green. Or this poem about a girl who disappears for days and returns terribly dirty but keeps her hands clean (and is so thoroughly proud of that accomplishment). (What parent hasn't done the same? Time to put on your yellow boots and your fluffy hat! I said this very morning.) Milne's repetition of "Great Big" indicates that it - not the boots nor the hat - is the source of happiness. Take this lovely delight of a poem: Happiness He proposes to return us to our own young innocence. If Dahl makes adults of children, Milne does the opposite. Courtesy of Charlie MacKesy's The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse "What's the bravest thing you've ever said?" asked the boy. Not to fear, Bear soothes his concerns by chancing upon a picture of a rather rotund King of France and notes if such a Royal be tubby, he is in good company. There is a bear in this collection too, but he only appears as "Teddy Bear" (although he demonstrates the curious, adventurous personality of the yet to be created Winnie the Pooh). Milne created the jolly, whimsical book of verse When We Were Very Young that set the tone for his subsequent, beloved Pooh characters. With the simplicity of truth as his starting point, Start from truth, or said differently, write from what you know, was promoted as a means of artistic beginnings by both Ernest Hemingway and E. So I thought to myself one fine day, walking with my friend Christopher Robin, "Moo rhymes with Pooh! Surely there is a bit of poetry to be got out of that?" Well, I should have told you that there are six cows who come down to Pooh's lake every afternoon to drink, and of course they say "Moo" as they come. Christopher Robin who feeds this swan in the mornings, has given him the name of "Pooh." This is a very fine name for a swan, because, if you call him and he doesn't come (which is a thing swans are good at), then you can pretend that you were just saying "Pooh!" to show how little you wanted him. Milne (JanuJanuary 31, 1956) tells us in his first book of children's verse When We Were Very Young, a particular friend to Milne's young son. It might surprise you to learn that Winnie the Pooh was a swan before he was a bear.
