Alan Alexander Milne, a novelist, playwright and writer of children’s literature, was the son of a Scottish schoolmaster. He won a scholarship to Westminster school and later read mathematics at Cambridge. His real interest was in light-hearted writing and at the age of 24 he became assistant editor of “Punch”. He became known as a playwright: “WurzelFlummery” (1917), “Mr Pim Passes By” (1919), “The Truth about Blayds” (1919) and “The Dover Road” (1921). His great success, however, came with his children’s books.
