A. A. Milne

Alan Alexander Milne (; 18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was an English author. He was best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for many poems. 

Milne served in both World Wars, joining the British Army in World War I, and was a captain of the British Home Guard in World War II.

Milne's son, Christopher Robin, served as the inspiration of the character of the same name in his Winnie-the-Pooh books.

Milne retired to the farm after a stroke and brain surgery in 1952 which left him paralyzed. Milne died on 31 January 1956, nearly two weeks after his 74th birthday.Jill C. Wheeler (2010). "A. A. Milne." p. 21. ABDO Publishing Company,
