Whatever Happened to Christopher Robin? By Gilly Halcrow
Looking at the life and times of Christopher Robin as he grew up in London and then in Hartfield on the Ashdown Forest. Was he a happy child and adult or did that small English teddy over-shaddow his life; did Christopher Robin feel that his father had climbed upon his shoulders leaving him with nothing but the empty fame of being his son and did he evert find happiness? A look at English life from the 1920s through the eyes of A.A.Milne and his son and, of course, Winnie-the-Pooh. The talk includes a few quotes and poems from Pooh with enchanting slides of the Ashdown Forest and of the family.
