This is a document about Delaney Gibson
  Jessica Delaney Gibson, of Irish-Cherokee descent, was born in Panama City, Florida. At young age her family moved to Ventura, California, where her schooling and musical ambitions really took root. She attended a parochial pre-school and by the age of five she was aimed at singing when she performed the Dolly Parton song "Coat of Many Colors". Gibson studied classical music and opera from the age of nine. With voice coaching from Linda Ottsen of the Ventura College music department and later a Bachelor of Arts degree in music, classical vocal performance from California State University, Northridge, the foundations were laid for the singer she is today. One of her favorite quotes is Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Every wall is a door". When asked in 2008 by a local newspaper about role models, Gibson replied, "I love the story about Colonel Sanders going door-to-door selling his chicken recipe, until he found the person who believed in him enough to help promote his product."

Robbins recalled writing "A White Sport Coat" in approximately twenty minutes, while being transported in a standard automobile. He is said to have had the inspiration for the

It is the first of two story collections by Milne about Winnie-the-Pooh, the second being The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne and Shepard collaborated previously for English humour magazine Punch, and in 1924 created When We Were Very Young, a poetry collection. Among the characters in the poetry book was a teddy bear Shepard modeled after his son's toy. Following this, Shepard encouraged Milne to write about his son Christopher Robin Milne's toys, and so they became the inspiration for the characters in Winnie-the-Pooh. The book was well-received

This is a document about Ashdown Forest
   Ashdown Forest is famous as the setting for the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, written by A. A. Milne. The first book, Winnie-the-Pooh, was published in 1926 with illustrations by E. H. Shepard. The second book, The House at Pooh Corner, also illustrated by Shepard, was published in 1928. These hugely popular stories were set in and inspired by Ashdown Forest.

This is a document about The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
  Winnie the Pooh was created by British author A.A. Milne in the 1920s. The character was named after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne. He had named his toy bear after Winnie, a Canadian black bear he often saw at London Zoo, and "Pooh", a swan they had met while on holiday. Drawing from this and other toys owned by his son, Milne created the world of Winnie-the-Pooh. He first appeared by name on December 24, 1925, in a Christmas story commissioned and published by the London Evening News. The following year, a collection of Pooh stories was formally released bearing the name Winnie-the-Pooh. The stories proved very popular and inspired a sequel. The idea for a television series was first discussed

  and his stuffed toys. Among Christopher's toys was a teddy bear he called "Winnie-the-Pooh". Christopher got the name "Winnie" from a bear at the London Zoo, Winnipeg. "Pooh" was the name of a swan in When We Were Very Young. Milne used Christopher and his toys as inspiration for a series of short stories, which were compiled and published as Winnie-the-Pooh. The model for Pooh remained the bear belonging to Shepard's son. Winnie-the-Pooh was published on 14 October 1926 by Methuen & Co. in England and E. P. Dutton in the United States. As a work first published in 1926, the book will enter the public domain in the United States on 1 January 2022. British copyright expires on 1 January 2027 (70 calendar years after Milne's death).

He wrote for English humour magazine Punch, had published a mystery novel, The Red House Mystery (1922), and was a playwright. Milne began writing poetry for children after being asked by fellow Punch contributor, Rose Fyleman. Milne compiled his first verses for publishing, and though his publishers were initially hesitant to publish children's poetry, the poetry collection When We Were Very Young (1924) was a success. The illustrations were done by artist and fellow Punch staff E. H. Shepard. Among the characters in When We Were Very Young was a teddy bear that Shepard modelled after one belonging to his son. With the book's success, Shepard encouraged Milne to write stories about Milne's young son, Christopher Robin

  Lenard was teaching at a mining community in Brazil when he began translating Winnie-the-Pooh. He was motivated by his previous experience, teaching English to a boy in Rome by using the original Winnie-the-Pooh as an aid. Lenard was fired from his teaching job while he was still working on the translation, and he continued to work from São Paulo. Publishers were skeptical of the book's potential and Lenard self-published the first printing in 1958. The initial publication was successful and spurred interest from beyond Brazil. The first publishing house to print the book was Bokförlaget Forum in Sweden; it was then picked up by Methuen Publishing in
