Finding Winnie: The Story of the World's Most Famous Bear by Lindsay Mattick

Two Winnies,

    two stories,

    a smooth transition from one to the other.

Two fairy tale openings—

    one TRUE true story

    one real bear, and one stuffed.

Two degrees of separation,

    two stories within two stories—

    a wonderful framing device.

A whiff of Nevil Shute

    but here a fluid frame.

    a movement in and out.

A story celebrating Winnie and Pooh Bear.
