Gyles Brandreth - Somewhere, A Boy And A Bear

About

The one and only Gyles Brandreth talks about the extraordinary story of AA Milne, Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh.  Gyles knew the real Christopher Robin and he draws on his personal insight to give an intimate and revealing account of AA Milne and how there was so much more to him than his creation of – possibly – the world’s most famous teddy bear.  Somewhere, A Boy And A Bear is a fascinating exploration of fathers and sons, children and their parents and the nature of childhood itself.  According to Gyles, Tigger loves the book.  Eeyore isn’t so sure.
