He was last seen with his pals in the Hundred Acre Wood bidding a fond farewell to Christopher Robin.
Christopher, as all Winnie-the-Pooh fans will know, was about to go to boarding school leaving the inhabitants of the wood to carry on their adventures alone.

The first authorised Winnie-the-Pooh sequel since AA Milne laid down his pen more than 80 years ago is ready to hit the shelves, bringing Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and the melancholic donkey Eeyore, to a new century of readers.
