New York: Stephen Slesinger, 1935. Near fine.. First edition of this remarkably intact large-format WINNIE THE POOH paper doll set, depicting the characters from the stories in a style much closer to the original stuffed animals that inspired the stories. The characters of the Hundred Acre Wood have a long and fascinating merchandising history, even before the brand-conscious Disney adaptation. A. A. Milne sold the US trade rights for the characters to literary agent and licensing pioneer Stephen Slesinger in 1930. With Slesinger's marketing prowess, "Pooh [became] an industry in the thirties," writes Ann Thwaite; by that time, "Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet and the rest were on their way to being lodged permanently... in the folk-memories of the English-speaking people, part of our common language and frame of reference." (Slesinger's widow in turn licensed Pooh to Disney in 1961.) This paper doll book is an excellent example of Slesinger's merchandising prowess: Christopher Robin's design reflects the style and stance of a boy from the thirties. Exceedingly rare complete in this original edition, put into perspective by the much later facsimile more commonly seen. 17'' x 9.75''. Original color pictorial wrappers with perforated punch-outs. [6] leaves of doll outfits to cut out, printed one side only. A touch of toning to front; a bit of rubbing to spine. Sharp, bright, and intact.

(London), 29 September 1926. Letter. Crease from mailing otherwise Fine. A two-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) on both sides of 5-1/2" x 7-3/8" personal stationery to "My dear Sir" [Vincent Seligman]. Written just weeks before the publication of Milne's most famous work, WINNIE-THE-POOH. This fine letter offers insight into Milne's sharp sense of humor and includes indirect references to his most famous book. Milne refers to a person in his letter as a "cygnet" (a young swan), a reference which may have been in mind as Winnie The Pooh was a blended name created by Milne, being a combination of the name "Pooh," after a cygnet swan they met on holiday, and "Winnie," a black bear cub he often saw at the London Zoo. There is also a lighthearted poke at his publisher, Methuen. In part: "I have arrived safely at the house to which you sent me, and think that I shall like the situation. I wanted to begin a serial story for the DAILY MAIL at once, but the man here said 'No, there's a letter we must write first,' and I said 'Oh, I see,' and began writing 'Dear Methuen,' but he snatched me away from the paper, and said it wasn't that sort of letter at all, which disappointed me rather because I thought I had got a literary situation. But he promised me we should do some poetry afterwards, and I said 'All right.' And of course when he began 'Dear Vincent,' I said 'Oh, know that man well; let me write the letter, while you get the ink off your hands.' He was terribly pleased with me, and I'm to keep on saying 'Thank you' until I run out of ink.... But I really am to say 'Thank you very much.... Assuring you, Sir, of my respects, and again thanking you for obtaining me this literary situation which I have always wanted from a cygnet so to speak. Yours faithfull [sic] The Pen. P.S. It was his fault about the ink, not mine. T.P. P.P.P. Now we are going to practise his signature: A. A. Milne. P.P.P.S. He says that's the best he's ever done." A delightful letter. Vincent Seligman was a banker who ran the London bank Seligman Brothers. He and his wife Barbara were close friends of the Milnes. Seligman dedicated his book, OXFORD ODDITIES, to Milne.
