Alan Alexander Milne is known primarily as an author of four books for children – two volumes of poetry, When We Were Very Young (1924) and Now We Are Six (1927), and also two collections of stories, Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). In each of these works appears a character inspired by the writer’s son, Christopher Robin Milne. In Great Britain and the United States shortly after the release the poems commanded a lot of interest and fame was won primarily by Christopher Robin. As the writer said himself after years: “[…] it was Christopher Robin, not I, whom Americans were clamouring to see; and, in fact (to make due acknowledgement at last), it was Christopher Robin, not I, not the publishers, who was selling the book in such large and ridiculous quantities”. And it is to Christopher (Robin) that this article is devoted – the character I propose to call a sylleptic character. It examines the relationship between reality and fiction, what events from life inspired the literary works, but also how these works influenced the life of the writer and his son.
