British author (1882–1956) who, despite a large body of novels, plays, and other “adult” writings, will forever be most closely associated with his much-beloved series of Winnie the Pooh stories. ALS signed “D. and B.,” one page, 4.25 x 7, no date. In part: “O noble G and A, here come the thank yous of a grateful turn much fortified by Arthur’s rum. Sorry, I can’t go on like that, I just got carried away. It is really very kind of you, and I should have said so before, if I hadn’t thought Daff was writing you a full-length ode. So easy to say ‘I can’t let you have a bottle of rum,’ and then forget about it, which is the sort of thing I do myself too often. We thank you therefore, for all three: the kind thought, the execution, and the rum.” Milne’s brief postscript reads, “P.S. Yo, ho, ho.” In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold and a few light creases. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
