Bear cheek
E H Shepards illustrations of Winnie-the-Pooh
(Pooh could be a bit of a cross to bear, March 16) are said
never to have been acknowledged by A A Milne until one occasion
which may have done much to make amends.
Milne, asked what he would like on his tomb stone, replied:
Shepards drawing of Pooh and Piglet and then,
thinking it to be mine, St Peter would open the gates wide
and usher me in.
