So I took a look at one, put two and two together, realised that 'Christopher Milne' was Christopher Robin Milne, and that this chap here in front of me was Christopher Robin himself. Strange experience. I bought all three volumes of course!

One other thing I didn't know, Christopher's original toys that became the characters are on display at the New York Public Library. They note 3/4 of a million people still visit the displays each year.
In other British artifacts, I did visit the "Lions of Tsabo" at the Field Museum in Chicago.
