    This is undoubtedly the sweetest and most characterful bear ever encountered. I am going to have trouble parting with it when I give it to my grandson.

    The Wool Company

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a 5-star review. We agree, Little Edward Bear is adorable. Here is some interesting information about him:

    British-made teddy bear called Little Edward. This is a simply beautiful small replica of the teddy bear who famously inspired AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories. Originally created by Farnell in 1921, Edward is brought to life again by Merrythought as the star of the major feature film 'Goodbye Christopher Robin'.

    Purchased from Harrods by Daphne Milne for the birthday of her son, Christopher Robin, Edward Bear, and his owner formed a unique bond and became the best of friends. Following a trip to London Zoo, the young boy later renamed his bear after the zoo's resident black bear Winnipeg, or Winnie for short. Christopher's father, AA Milne, was enamoured by the wonderful partnership he witnessed between a boy and his teddy bear and decided to pen stories about their journey through life together.

    Hand-crafted in England using the same traditional skills and materials as Christopher Robin's original Edward bear, this handsome chap features a rich, antique golden mohair coat and sandy-beige pure woollen felt paws. His deep amber eyes show a longing to be loved, which together with a hand-embroidered nose and endearing smile, give him a quintessential charm that can only be found in a teddy bear of such timeless design and heritage.

    Beautifully crafted, Edward Teddy bear for new grandson Edward William, bought by his great grandmother who has loved choosing Merrythought bears for her other two great grandchildren- great personalities detailed in all of their faces!

    She always liked a bear to have a good sitting position and good moving joints.
