Collection of approximately 150 letters, postcards and greetings cards, mostly from Christopher Robin Milne but some from his wife Leslie or their daughter Clare, mostly Embridge Forge, near Dartmouth, Devon, 1980 to 1993, to John and Joan Benson of Ottawa, majority with original transmittal envelopes. Christopher Milne writes to a customer of his bookshop in Dartmouth, Devon, who subsequently became a good friend. Glimpses into the world of Pooh appear in many of the letters: "I no longer bounce gaily down those stairs," Milne remarks about his bookshop, accidentally evoking E.H. Shepard's "bump, bump, bump" illustration. In one letter, he tells the story of the black bear Winnie, the mascot of the Canadian Light Infantry, who was left at London Zoo in 1914, and who gave her name to Winnie-the-Pooh. Thanking his correspondent for a photograph of 11 Mallord Street, Milne describes the interior of his childhood home.
