A NUMISMATIC WRITER AT POOH CORNER?
Asylum Editor E. Tomlinson Fort and his wife Gosia write:
"Recently, Larry Dziubek brought to our attention an interesting tidbit. There is a book entitled Communion Tokens of the Presbyterian Churches in Ireland, by A.A. Milne (published 1920). Apparently there are a number of people, of whom Larry is not one, who think that this person is the same gentleman who created Winnie-the-Pooh.
After some checking it was quickly confirmed that they are two very different people. The creator of Winnie-the-Pooh was Alan Alexander Milne (1882-1956) who lived most of his life, and set his famous characters in, southern England. The author of the communion token book is Reverend Alexander Allan Milne (born 1857) who seems to have resided in Scotland. We have not been able to ascertain if the two gentlemen were related. Thus, sadly, numismatic literature does not seem to have been one of the things that Tiggers do best."
