James Campbell
The Men Who Created Winnie-the-Pooh
The Lives of A.A. Milne and E.H.Shepard

with Peter Guttridge

In 1924, E.H. Shepard and A.A. Milne crafted some of the most widely recognised children’s books. Since then, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends have been on countless adventures through the Hundred Acre Wood in classic tales that are adored by many.

To mark the centenary of the first tales of Winnie the-Pooh, James Campbell has written this joint biography of the men whose partnership brought about the creation of these iconic characters.

Illustrated with excerpts from original manuscripts and drawings, unseen draft illustrations, photographs, documents, ephemera and more, this beautifully produced keepsake book is a must-have for all fans.

James Campbell is married to E.H. Shepard’s great-grandaughter and has had responsibility for the oversight of his artistic and literary estate since 2010.

Peter Guttridge will be talking to James Campbell.
