6 - Winnie the p00h .

Winnie the Pooh

is a fictional bear created by A. A. Milne. 

The first collection of stories about the character was the book Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), and this was followed by The House at Pooh Corner (1928). 

Milne also included a poem about the bear in the children’s verse book When We Were Very Young (1924) and many more in Now We Are Six (1927). 

All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.

 The hyphens in the character's name were later dropped when The Walt Disney Company adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh features that became one of the company's most successful franchises worldwide: see Winnie the Pooh (Disney).

The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages, including Alexander Lenard's Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu, which was first published in 1958, and, in 1960, became the only Latin book ever to have been featured on the New York Times Best Seller List.

Since the 1970, Pooh Bear has been voiced by three actors: Sterling Holloway, Hal Smith and Jim Cummings
