A.A. Milne Trivia

1. One of Milne's most delightful poems is DISOBEDIENCE, which tells of a little boy's plea to his mother, to "never go down to the end of the town", without him. What is the little boy's first name?

From Quiz "A. A. Milne", said Pooh

Answer: James

His full name is James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupree. Many of Milne's poems are very rhythmical, and this is one of the best - great to read aloud. The poem is exciting, with even King John, the Queen and Prince, getting into the action. The poem ends with James' famous plea, "You-must-never-go-down-to-the-end-of-the-town-if-you-don't-go-down-with-ME!"

From Quiz A A Milne the poet

Answer: Three

The poem is titled "Disobedience": "James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupree Took great care of his mother though he was only three".

From Quiz The House at Pooh Corner

Answer: Eeyore

Pooh and Piglet built a house for Eeyore out of 'a pile of sticks' that Piglet saw on the other side of the wood from Pooh Corner. It was somewhat unfortunate that the pile of sticks had been Eeyore's house! But Eeyore decided that the wind had blown his house over the wood and settled happily into the new location.

From Quiz This Bear is For Life -Part Two

Answer: A house.

Pooh Bear realises that, unlike all the other animals in The Hundred Acre Wood, Eeyore doesn't have a house. Pooh decides they should build a house for Eeyore, out of the wind, in a quiet corner of the wood; to be known as Pooh corner. Piglet thinks it's a grand idea and remembers a heap of sticks piled high at the other end of the wood. Pooh Bear and Piglet fetch the sticks and start to build the house. A little later, on the other side of the wood, Eeyore is asking Christopher Robin if he has happened to have seen a house. Eeyore explains that he built one in the corner of his field but it's disappeared, every last stick of it! Can you guess what has happened? Luckily Eeyore loves his new house once Pooh and Piglet has shown him where it is.

Pooh Bear loves honey and while walking in the Hundred Acre Wood he hears a buzzing sound coming from the top of a very tall oak tree. He knows that bees buzz and he knows they make honey and he believes the only reason they make honey is so he can eat it.

From Quiz Eeyore - The Old Grey Donkey

Answer: South-East of the Hundred Acre Wood

Referred to on the map as "Eeyore's gloomy place, rather boggy and sad", Eeyore lived in a thistly part of the forest. He said that "for people who like cold, wet, ugly bits it is something rather special." The real-life Eeyore was a stuffed toy, 25 inches tall. Christopher Robin Milne received him as a gift from his father. Eeyore now lives with his friends in the New York Public Library.

From Quiz A A Milne the poet

Answer: Butter

He only wanted a "bit of butter for the royal slice of bread" but the request was passed on to the queen, the dairy maid, the alderney (a kind of cow) and back up the line.

From Quiz The House at Pooh Corner

Answer: Cookies

When Tigger arrives at the Forest, he tells Pooh that Tiggers like everything. Except that they don't like honey. Or haycorns (their name for acorns). Or thistles (much to the relief of Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore respectively!) Tigger eventually discovered that what Tiggers really like is Extract of Malt (Roo's Strengthening Medicine). He also gets a spoonful of Roosbreakfast after meals as medicine sometimes.

From Quiz This Bear is For Life -Part Two

Answer: Tigger.

Pooh Bear invites Tigger in, after making sure that Christopher Robin knows about him, and suggests they go to sleep because it is, after all, the middle of the night. When Pooh Bear asks Tigger what he likes to eat, Tigger replies "everything"! At breakfast we discover that Tiggers like everything except honey. Pooh Bear is rather pleased :-) and takes Tigger around to Piglet's to try some acorns. At Piglet's house we discover that Tiggers like everything but honey and acorns. "Thistles", thinks Pooh Bear so off they go to visit Eeyore, with Tigger bouncing all the way. At Eeyore's we discover that Tiggers like everything except honey, acorns and thistles. Finally they decide to try to find Tigger some breakfast at Kanga's. Kanga is busy trying to get Roo to take his strengthening medicine. Roo dislikes his extract of malt, but Tigger comes closer and closer and then his mouth closes around the spoon. At last we have discovered what Tiggers like. So Tigger lives with Kanga and Roo, eating Roo's medicine for breakfast,lunch and supper, and sometimes when Kanga thinks Tigger needs strengthening, she gives him a spoonful of Roo's breakfast.

From Quiz This Bear is For Life!

Answer: He gets stuck in Rabbit's door

I don't think Rabbit would invite him to live there, as Pooh Bear has just eaten all of Rabbit's honey and condensed milk. When he tries to climb out through the hole his tummy is too big and he becomes stuck. Luckily Rabbit has a back door and goes to find Christopher Robin. They pull and they push but Pooh Bear won't budge. Christopher Robin decides all they can do is wait for Pooh bear to get thinner and he sits outside Rabbit's house and reads to Pooh while Rabbit uses the back end of Pooh to hang his wet washing on! After a week Christopher Robin decides it's time to dislodge his friend. He takes hold of Pooh Bear's front paws, and Rabbit takes hold of Christopher Robin and Rabbit's friends and relations all take hold of Rabbit and they PULL and PULL! Suddenly there's a loud POP! and Winnie-The-Pooh is free :-)

From Quiz Winnie the Pooh and Friends

Answer: The blue one

Winnie the Pooh decided to 'try to look like a small black cloud' under his blue balloon. Unfortunately though for Winnie the Pooh, the bees became 'suspicious', so he asked Christopher Robin to get his (Christopher's) umbrella and start saying that it 'looks like rain' in the hope that the bees would no longer be suspicious.

From Quiz Eeyore - The Old Grey Donkey

Answer: Owl was using it as a bell-rope.

Owl saw this handsome bell-rope hanging over a bush, and pulled it to see who lived there. When it came off in his hand (do owls have hands?) he took it home with him. Luckily Pooh rescued it, and Christopher Robin nailed it back in its rightful place. Eeyore was so pleased that he frisked and waved his tail - very unusual for him, as he tends to prefer moping and staring at the ground.

From Quiz A A Milne the poet

Answer: Alice

From Quiz The House at Pooh Corner

Answer: Piglet

Pooh and Piglet had fallen into the Gravel Pit looking for Small, whose real name was Very Small Beetle. Actually, Pooh was looking for Piglet, to ask him whether Small was the sort of friend-and-relation 'who settles on one's nose or the sort who got trodden on by mistake', but fell into the Gravel Pit, landing on Piglet who'd fallen in earlier. When Christopher Robin found Pooh and Piglet, Piglet spotted Small crawling up Pooh's back. Nobody told Eeyore, though - and he was still looking for Small two days later.

From Quiz This Bear is For Life -Part Two

Answer: Small.

Pooh Bear is busy trying to count his jars of honey when Rabbit calls and explains Small is missing. A search is organised but Pooh keeps forgetting to ask what kind of creature Small is. Small is eventually found, by Piglet, crawling up Pooh Bear's back. I'm not sure what type of creature Small is, but, to me, he looks like a beetle or a grasshopper. Two days later, Eeyore is still looking for Small because no one thought to tell him Small had been found. Poor Eeyore.

From Quiz "Winnie-the-Pooh" by A.A. Milne - not Disney!

Answer: Sanders

The wonderful E H Shephard illustration in my book shows Pooh sitting there, not only with a name plate, but a real doorbell, so perhaps it came from someone's house. Piglet's house has a piece of broken board next to it which had 'Trespassers W' on it. Piglet says that it was his grandfather's name and short for Trespassers Will', which in turn was short for 'Trespassers William'. Don't tell Piglet, but I think that the broken board had once read 'Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted'. A trespasser is someone who goes somewhere where they are not allowed, and these signs were put up to warn people that if they did go where they weren't supposed to, they would be in trouble with the law ('Prosecuted'.)

From Quiz This Bear is For Life!

Answer: A woozle

Piglet has noticed Pooh Bear walking around and around a spinney (a spinney is a small group of trees or bushes). When Piglet asks Pooh what he is doing, Pooh replies that he is tracking something and shows Piglet the paw prints in the snow. Piglet is very excited thinking it might be a Woozle and he joins Pooh Bear. Before long they notice there are now two sets of prints in the snow. Have you guessed who the paw prints belong to? Silly Pooh Bear and Piglet, the paw prints belong to them! I can't tell you what a Woozle is, or what it looks like, because I don't know and I don't think Piglet or Pooh Bear know either.

From Quiz Winnie the Pooh and Friends

Answer: Rabbit's

When Winnie the Pooh went round to visit Rabbit he ate too much honey and condensed milk, so when he went to leave he got stuck. While he was stuck in Rabbit's front door, Rabbit used his back legs as a towel-horse and Christopher Robin read a 'Sustaining book' to his front end. After a week Winnie the Pooh was able to get out of Rabbit's front door.

From Quiz Eeyore - The Old Grey Donkey

Answer: Not very how.

"It's snowing still" was how Eeyore responded to Christopher Robin's caring "how are you?" in the first chapter of "The House at Pooh Corner". "Same to you..." was his response to Pooh's "Hello" in the same chapter.
