I asked my international giftor for something they love that everyone should know about and got classic Pooh, along with a 3-page note about the AA Milne books resonating deeper than the Disney Pooh.

Curiously, there is an author who shares my name who actually has (had?) the 2nd largest collection of Poohs in America. When Other heart4world donated them to a museum they filled 80 boxes (?!).
