Fannish Fifty: Winnie-the-Pooh

I'm a great fan of Winnie-the-Pooh - the original books by A A Milne in particular.  I have a Pooh Bear sweatshirt and a glass with Pooh Bear on it.  The Daughter loved Eeyore when she was younger and had several cuddly Eeyores.  She has less now but still owns some.  And we continue to hang her Eeyore decoration on the Christmas tree every year.

I also like writing Winnie-the-Pooh.  I like the charm of the original stories and the fun that can be had in the Hundred Acre Woods.  I have a more adult version where Tigger and Rabbit live together and Rabbit and Piglet receive books in brown paper wrappers.

And I have my Sherlock Holmes spin-off with Tigger Holmes, who has two Watsons, played by Eeyore and Pooh Bear, in the Granada David Burke and Edward Hardwicke manner.

And the first time I read Milne's The Red House Mystery I sensed similarities between Antony Gillingham and Tigger Holmes.
