About the author
A.A. Milne
1,903 books3,793 followersAlan Alexander Milne (pronounced /ˈmɪln/) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems.
A. A. Milne was born in Kilburn, London, to parents Vince Milne and Sarah Marie Milne (née Heginbotham) and grew up at Henley House School, 6/7 Mortimer Road (now Crescent), Kilburn, a small public school run by his father. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells who taught there in 1889–90. Milne attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied on a mathematics scholarship. While there, he edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor.
Milne joined the British Army in World War I and served as an officer in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and later, after a debilitating illness, the Royal Corps of Signals. He was discharged on February 14, 1919.
After the war, he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934), which he retracted somewhat with 1940's War with Honour. During World War II, Milne was one of the most prominent critics of English writer P. G. Wodehouse, who was captured at his country home in France by the Nazis and imprisoned for a year. Wodehouse made radio broadcasts about his internment, which were broadcast from Berlin. Although the light-hearted broadcasts made fun of the Germans, Milne accused Wodehouse of committing an act of near treason by cooperating with his country's enemy. Wodehouse got some revenge on his former friend by creating fatuous parodies of the Christopher Robin poems in some of his later stories, and claiming that Milne "was probably jealous of all other writers.... But I loved his stuff."
He married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913, and their only son, Christopher Robin Milne, was born in 1920. In 1925, A. A. Milne bought a country home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex. During World War II, A. A. Milne was Captain of the Home Guard in Hartfield & Forest Row, insisting on being plain 'Mr. Milne' to the members of his platoon. He retired to the farm after a stroke and brain surgery in 1952 left him an invalid and by August 1953 "he seemed very old and disenchanted".
He was 74 years old when he passed away in 1956.

My young friend Rosie is just about the age for her Mum or Dad to begin to teach her the time and when I saw this book with its opening words 'Tick, tock' I just had to buy it for her. The reason was because it took me back many years to when my daughter Deborah was at a similar age just beginning to learn to tell the time. However it took me some time to get the idea into her head, so much so that when I moved the fingers on the paper clock that my Dad had made for her it did not register with her at first. So I decided that I would say 'Tick, tock' as I moved the fingers round the dial. At first it made no difference and Debz was indifferent to it. So each time we failed, I would repeat, more vehemently, 'Tick, tock' (with the occasional very mild expletive depending on how frustrated I was). Even so, it must have been quite fun, as Debz still laughingly remembers those words (even with my expletive interspersed) to this day ... and she is now 51!
So I do hope Rosie's Mum has more success than I initially had! At least she will have the pleasant distraction of Winnie-the-Pooh to help the operation along! Beginning at eight o'clock, it takes us through the day with Winnie doing different things at each time point.
At 8 o'clock it is eating breakfast time with honey, 'licky and sticky and runny'; at 10 o'clock it is time for a stroll with piglet holding on tightly to avoid being blown away by the whooshing wind; at 11 o'clock the pair visit Owl to enjoy a cup of tea; at 12 o'clock Winnie and piglet have a bite to eat at Rabbit's big den; at 2 o'clock they visit the river to play Poohsticks... 'Ready Steady Throw!'; at 4 o'clock it is time for a picnic, honey and cakes for Pooh and all his friends; by 7 o'clock Pooh yawns ... and, as Samuel Pepys would say, 'and so to bed'!
What a busy day for everyone and a useful way to learn the time with Winnie ... perhaps if I had had the help of Winnie all those years ago I might have been able to dismiss that middle expletive!! By the way, I should add that Deborah is now almost oblivious to the time and has never worn a watch!
