The term 'original' should be replaced with 'real'. :)

It's nice to see them again.

Fantastic! I now have a desktop image that will make me smile every time I look at it.

Awesome! I have a thing about the fantasy worlds that kids who have stuffed animals create. Calvin and Hobbes comes to mind as well...

Hooray, new background image!

No pictures of Owl?

Ahh. Just right for Sunday night.

Honestly, everything peacay does on BibliOdyssey is superb. This is yet another example of a beautifully put together online exhibit.

The original stuffed animals, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Kanga, Piglet and Eeyore that belonged to the little boy, Christopher Robin Milne. At the Donnell Library.

Related old Pooh, Vinni.

Shameless self-link to The Owl & the Pussycat, my first longer-than-three-lines html page--if you really need an owl.

Pretty much every post on bibliodyssey is worthy of a FPP. I don't know how Peacay does it, but God bless him.

"Pooh pushed and pushed and pushed his way through the hole..."

I'm sorry to be so immature, but the image this line created in my head (of a brave little poo laboriously pushing itself through 'the hole') made me laugh.

Very true. I just thought that Winnie The Pooh was particularly Mefi-friendly.

Wonderful.

And to think that I've always felt that I was alone in feeling revulsion
at the way Disney has colonised my childhood.

Thanks

Ha, the Pooh Cook Book sounds a bit... odd.

This is awesome.

Well those are just beautiful.

Wait, so am I to understand that you can't find the books with these illustrations anymore, JUST the Disneyficated version? I saw these pics and was all 'Oh yeah, I remember reading these', and if they're unavailable in general circulation now, that's just.. tragic.
