A. A. (Alan Alexander) Milne (1882 - 1956), English writer of wide-ranging variety, now remembered almost entirely for four books of children's stories and poems, many featuring the character [[Winnie the Pooh]]. The process had already begun within his lifetime, to his considerable annoyance.
He first came to fame as a humorist, and was a contributor to ''[[Punch]]'' (as was the cartoonist E. H. Shepard, who went on to illustrate his ''Pooh'' books). He also achieved considerable success as a playwright, and wrote several successful novels. The detective novel ''The Red House Mystery'' was quite successful in its day, though now is mainly remembered for having been held up by [[Raymond Chandler]], along with ''[[Murder on the Orient Express]]'', as an exemplar of ludicrous whodunnit plotting. Two of his short stories were adapted for ''[[Alfred Hitchcock Presents]]''.
