Children and adults have both taken pleasure in the frolics of Winnie the Pooh and his friends Rabbit, Eyeore, Piglet, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and Christopher Robin for more than 70 years. Quite a few generations, actually, have gotten to know the awe of the Hundred Acre Wood. If you, too, are an enthusiast of this "silly old bear" then you might want to consider purchasing personal bank checks that have his likeness.

Winnie the Pooh was popularized in the 1926 AA Milne book Winnie-the-Pooh. He showed up again in The House at Pooh Corner in 1928. Before that, he made his first appearance in a 1924 poem. In 1960, when the book was translated into Latin, it became the first foreign language book to show up on the New York Times bestseller's list.

Winnie the Pooh was actually based on a real bear and Christopher Robin was a real boy. Christopher Robin was AA Milne's real life son and Winnie the Pooh was his real life teddy bear. Christopher Robin was responsible for naming the other characters as well, save for Owl and Rabbit who were added by Disney.

In addition, the Hundred Acre Wood is also based on a real place. It was based on AA Milne's home in Ashdown Forest, located in East Sussex, England. The name "Hundred Acre Wood" probably derives from the nearby Five Hundred Acre Wood which has some of the same places that are referenced in the stories.
