Editing Christopher Robin (section)

==In the books==
Christopher Robin appears in Milne's poems and in the two books: ''[[Winnie-the-Pooh (book)|Winnie-the-Pooh]]'' (1926) and ''[[The House at Pooh Corner]]'' (1928). In the books he is a young boy and one of [[Winnie-the-Pooh]]'s best friends. His other friends are [[Eeyore]], [[Kanga (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Kanga]] and [[Roo]], [[Rabbit (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Rabbit]], [[Piglet (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Piglet]], [[Owl (Winnie-the-Pooh)|Owl]], and [[Tigger]]. In the second book, there are hints that Christopher Robin is growing up. In the final chapter, the inhabitants of [[Hundred Acre Wood|the Forest]] throw him a farewell party after learning he must leave them soon. It is implied that he will attend boarding school; Christopher Robin Milne, for whom the stories were originally developed, left home to attend [[Stowe School]] at age 9.<ref>{{cite book|title=The enchanted places|page=1|publisher=Penguin|year=1976|author=Christopher Milne}}</ref>

In addition to both Pooh books, the character was immortalized in other works by A. A. Milne including two books of poems: ''[[When We Were Very Young]]'' (1924) and ''[[Now We Are Six]]'' (1927). An arrangement of one of the poems, ''Buckingham Palace'', was first recorded by [[Ann Stephens]] in July 1941.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Maloy |first=Liam |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DQ_2DwAAQBAJ |title=Spinning the Child - Musical Constructions of Childhood Through Records, Radio and Television |publisher=Taylor & Francis |year=2020 |isbn=9781351334099 |language=en |access-date=May 18, 2023}}</ref> [[Petula Clark]] released a recording of it in 1953 to coincide with the [[coronation]] of [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen Elizabeth II]].{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

In [[David Benedictus]]'s 2009 [[Authorization|authorized]] sequel ''[[Return to the Hundred Acre Wood]]'', Christopher Robin was at school, but during the summer break he returns to the forest for a visit with a lot of knowledge to share. Though slightly older, he is still the same person as before and is happy to share more good times with his friends all summer. At the end of the summer, he has to leave again for another school year, but the animals know they will see him again.

Christopher Robin is cheerful, compassionate, adventurous, fun-loving, imaginative, and helpful. Despite being a child, he is much wiser and more mature than many of the other characters, and is someone Pooh and the others look up to. In the book illustrations, his house appears as a hollow tree with a door at the top of the forest.
