Here Gyles Brandreth tells the remarkable story of A A Milne – the man behind that ‘bear of very little brain’ who nevertheless went on to become a global phenomenon. Drawing on years of friendship with Milne’s son, the real Christopher Robin, Gyles conjures an intimate portrait of a prolific author whose legacy came to be defined by his most famous creation, and the fascinating yet troubled Milne family who for many years had a conflicted relationship with the iconic bear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of that bear but it is also a story about youth, innocence and growing up, fathers and sons, the double-edged sword of success, and, perhaps most of all, the impossible longing of returning to the enchanted places of childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55283923616119,"sku":"9780241582541","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9780241582541.jpg?v=1749119626","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9780241582541","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
