Game History:
In 1926, English author A.A. Milne published the beloved story of Winne-the-Pooh with the wonderful illustrations of E.H. Shepard. He based the stories off of a teddy bear his son, Christopher Robin, owned. Other characters, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo and Tigger, were also Christopher's childhood toys. Stephen Slesinger acquired the sole trade rights to Winnie-the-Pooh from A.A. Milne in 1930 and was responsible for all the merchandising for the beloved character. This game was originally manufactured by the Kerk Guild in 1931. Parker Brothers began distributing the game in 1933.
