Description: Before there was Winnie-the-Pooh, there was a real bear named Winnie.

When soldier Harry Colebourn sees a bear cub on a station platform, he knows he can't leave her behind. But little does Harry expect that Winnie will go on to win not just his heart, but hearts all over the world, including those of a little boy named Christopher Robin Milne and his father.

This is the award-winning story of two very special friendships, and of how the world came to know and love Winnie-the-Pooh.
