Gyles Brandreth joins us to tell the extraordinary story of A.A. Milne, Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh, just in time for the centenary of the publication of Winnie-the-Pooh in 2026.
Gyles Brandreth knew the real Christopher Robin and his new book is both an intimate and revealing biography of A.A. Milne (to whom there was so much more than Pooh) and a fascinating exploration of family dynamics and the nature of childhood itself.
Gyles is the author of a number of works, including number one Sunday Times bestseller Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait. The late Queen had a special interest in Winnie-the-Pooh, with whom she shares the upcoming centenary.
