Letter ‘Written’ by Winnie the Pooh to Young Fan Sells More Than $15,000

June 25, a 1935 letter signed by “Winnie The Pooh” actually signed by illustrator Ernest Howard Shepard sold for more than $15,000. A simple handwritten note was written by Ernest Howard for a young fan. The note included a drawing of the titular bear from A.A Milne’s book series as well as best friend Piglet.

The note was sent to apologizes to a young fan name “Buffkins” for missing his birthday party.

“Buffkins” was a childhood nickname for Harry Stopes-Roe, whose mother, Marie Stopes was actually a close friend of Shepard. The Stopes-Roe family said Harry would often invite “Winnie The Pooh” to his birthday parties, and the illustrator would respond with a letter apologizing for the bear’s absence.

The letter is riddled with the intentional Pooh-esque misspellings.”We are teribly sorry that we shant be able to come to your party on March 30th but we are going to be away. Thank you so much for inviteing us,” the note reads.

The letter expected to only be fetched up for $5,000 but it ended up selling for a total of $15,521.
