Oh Pooh...

Ali, I was especially thinking of you when I took this photo of the actual Christopher Robin's actual toys upon which the Winnie the Pooh series were based... Here is Pooh, Eyeore, Tigger, Kanga, and Piglet who is so tiny...

Does anyone know who the furry chick with the pearls is in the back left hand corner... Maybe Cavi and Lauchie are up on which character this one is. It has sooo obviously not been played with as much as the others... These are in the children's library in the New York Public Library...

On a total egotistical note, if you are a published author, you can have a room in the library and minions bring you the interesting, rare etc books, photos, etc you require for your research. You need to take the room for about a week... I am starting to think next week's plans are shaping up - when would you EVER get a chance like this again! As a taster, here is a picture of the main reading room which you can use anyhow... But the wheels are in motion as I have ordered my own library card in order to apply for the personal study room.
