Winnie The Pooh Sketch Fetched $50,000

An original sketch of Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger and Piglet by E.H. Shepard has fetched $50,000 at auction:

The oval pencil sketch by E.H. Shepard, one of children’s literature’s most famous illustrators, shows Pooh dipping his paw into a pot of honey while sitting at a table as Piglet and Tigger look on.

Auctioneer Bonhams said the successful telephone bidder was from Germany and bought the picture for his wife, a long-time Pooh fan.
