The Pooh Posse in New York City


Piglet, Tigger, Winnie-the-Pooh, Eeyore and Kanga. (1925)

These stuffed toy icons all belonged to Christopher Robin when he was a little boy. They have traveled the world but found a permanent home at the Central Children's Room at the New York City Library in 1987 where they are on display for new generations of children to enjoy. These animals appear to have been very well loved indeed.

Actually, they used to be nonchalantly sitting in a display case on the 2nd fl. at the Donnell Branch on 53rd, before it closed a couple(?) of years ago. The ragged posse were then moved over to 5th and 42nd.

I know it sounds selfish but I'd love to have them at my house. I have 5 or 6 beautifully beat up bears who are always on the lookout for new friends.
