7. AA Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh (1926)

《小熊维尼》（1926年），AA米尔恩著

Milne named the characters in his classic children’s book after his own son Christopher Robin, his cuddly teddy bear, his stuffed animals Piglet, Tigger, the donkey Eeyore and others. Christopher and Pooh wander through the Hundred Acre Wood not unlike the forest near Milne’s home in East Sussex. His first adventure sends him up a tree buzzing with bees, singing a little song to himself: “Isn’t it funny how a bear likes honey…” And the adventures continue, narrated with sweet grace by a father who includes his son and his son’s world in every new plot twist. A playwright and contributor to Punch, Milne will be forever known as the creator of the perfect read-aloud nursery tale. (Credit: Dutton Books)

米尔恩用他的儿子和儿子玩具的名字来给这本经典童书里的人物命名：小男孩克里斯多夫•罗宾、可爱的泰迪熊维尼、毛绒玩具小猪、跳跳虎、毛驴屹耳等等。克里斯多夫和维尼•噗经常闲逛的百亩森林和米尔恩在英格兰东萨西克斯郡的家附近的森林也很像。米尔恩的儿子的第一次冒险是爬上一棵蜜蜂嗡嗡飞的树，自娱自乐地唱着一支小曲：“熊爱吃蜂蜜，这是不是很有趣……”冒险故事在书中延续了下去，父亲很有爱地把儿子和儿子的世界写进了每个新的故事情节。作为一名剧作家和《笨趣》杂志的撰稿者，米尔恩将作为这本完美的床头幼儿读物的创作者而永远被世人铭记。（来源：达顿出版社）
