Description
A.A. Milne
Autograph card signed, to Miss Smorley (“a not-very-well-girl”), photographic portrait by Coster of A.A. Milne, Christopher Robin Milne, and Winnie-the-Pooh, commenting on the photograph (“…Pooh and I think it’s rather like us, but Christopher Robin’s hair is really goldeny, so it isn’t very good of him…”), with a postscript (“…Pooh wants me to say that he is really much handsomer, because he found his eye the other day and has two now…”), with a further postscript as if from Pooh repeating triumphantly that he now has two eyes, 8vo (90 x 135 mm), [?1928/9], some ink smudging
This warm-hearted note, written by A.A. Milne to cheer a sick girl, probably dates from 1928–1929 as Milne comments that his son Christopher Robin is currently eight years old.
