Happy 100th (literary) birthday Winnie the Pooh!
On this date 100 years ago, the first Winnie the Pooh book was published on the exact same day across two continents. Methuen & Co. released it in England, while E.P. Dutton published it in the United States.
The book was an immediate global sensation, selling over 150,000 copies in 1926 alone. A prominent literary critic at the time called it "the spectacular British success of the 1920s"
