The correct answer to the question is A. A. Milne. However, it is worthy to note that the spelling of A. A. Milne’s creation is incorrect because it should be Winnie the Pooh and not Whinny the Pooh. Born Alan Alexander Milne on January 18, 1882 in Kilburn, London, he was perhaps best known for his books about the teddy bear named Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh first appeared on February 13, 1924 on the edition of Punch, but he still had his original name “Edward”.
It was then said that he was eventually renamed by Christopher Robin as Winnie the Pooh when he appeared again on December 24, 1925 in The Evening News. The first book about Winnie the Pooh which was entitled Winnie-the-Pooh was published on October 14, 1926 by Methuen & Co. Ltd., and it covered the story of Winnie and his friends Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, and Rabbit. Tigger only appeared on its sequel entitled The House at Pooh Corner.
