He had no visitors and never left the house. One night, he turned off the lights and left the house. He was never seen again.

But his his exit resulted in people dying. Is Winnie the Pooh based on any particular type of bear? Winnie the Pooh Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh Milne, A.

This is server B And the location of this house was close enough to the buzzing sort of bees as to be able to get hunny, without being too close to be bothered by the buzzing when he wasn't hungry.

And since Mr. Sanders is a bear then he must have been a relative of Winnie-the-Pooh. But he must be a distant relative because Mr. Sanders is nowhere around. Another answer comes from author Ann Thwaite in her biography, A.

In her Notes page , referring to page we read: " under the name of Sanders The Sanders referred to was Frank Sanders, who had a printing works in the Snow Hill area of London.

Milne's work, although all four children's books are printed by Jarrold of Norwich. Information comes from Douglas Sanders, Frank's nephew, Frank Sanders was certainly a friend of illustrator E.

Shepard, but there is no reference to him by A. Milne that would confirm this private joke. Courtesy of John Wheeler. Henry Pootel was thought to be one of Winnie-the-Pooh's relatives. Actually, Henry is a very clean Piglet. Once, Kanga gave Piglet a bath and he became so clean, that he was unrecognizable. Christopher Robin figured he must be a relative of Pooh's, and named him "Henry Pootel". Milne makes reference to Winnie ther Pooh and suggests that we should be able to deduce what "ther" means.

Perhaps I am overlooking the obvious but I am stumped! Please any help would allow me a full nights sleep! Jeff Nanaimo BC Canada. Although it appears to imply that "ther" means Winnie is a boy or of a male gender , Author A. Milne never really answers that question in his book Winnie-the-Pooh. Here is what he writes in Chapter One When I first heard his name, I said, just as you are going to say, "But I thought he was a boy?

Don't you know what 'ther' means? I've often appreciate your Winnie-the-Pooh FAQ and used it as a reference to clear up common questions on the subject -- there are surprisingly many. As it's becoming a de facto central repository for such questions, when I was browsing and happened to come across someone explaining one of the questions that wasn't really answered, I thought I would send you the link in case you can include it. In a nutshell, it said that "ther" represents stressed "the", and, in the opinion of the analyst, couldn't be written in italic, as that would look like "the" as in "one and only" , and is saying the question is showing the name isn't "Winnie" but the whole thing "Winnie-the-Pooh", which has no traditional gender.

That doesn't completely explain it, but it satisfied me, who had never really thought of it before. Maybe that's obvious, but it would seem worth spelling out, I'm not sure the questioner got it, and I didn't really see it before. Thank your for this. It was a fun read. I found the or ther discussion quite interesting. My only comment on the responses presented is that the one Latin argument presented is baseless since the works were indeed written in the Queens English.

Acre is normally spelled a-c-r-e, and the book even spells it "acre", as in "Hundred Acre Wood". Just a shelf away from a small Winnie the Pooh figurine — a gift from Sanders's daughter in North Carolina — sits a little collection of coffee mugs, each from a prestigious university a family member has attended. His mom, Nellie McNichol Sanders, was the province's first female judge, and family members have attended Queen's and Yale universities. Sanders family doubled when he remarried four years ago — he now has six kids and 12 grandkids, each igniting a small flash of pride on his face when he talks about them.

Then it happened all at once," he said. It's a lot of people to cram into a cabin at West Hawk Lake, which also serves as a rare getaway for Sanders and his wife. He spends his days helping people and businesses appeal their property tax assessments, and occasionally, does a pro bono case. He used to be a lawyer but now will only tackle cases "where it's something which I think is in the public interest to do. From the Richardson Building where he works, to the couch at his condo — Sanders lives and breathes politics.

When asked what his non-political interests are, he lists his presidency of the residents' committee at his building and lending his time as the vice president of a life-lease association.

What does he watch? More politics. If it's not news, he's binge-watching Netflix's Washington-based House of Cards and comparing his experience with the British sitcom Yes Minister.

So I've certainly seen it inside.
