Synopsis

Writer A.A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) leaves London for the English countryside, beginning to pen stories about the growing collection of stuffed animals belonging to his son (Will Tilston / Alex Lawther), forming the basis for "Winnie-the-Pooh" and "The House at Pooh Corner," published in 1926 and 1928, respectively. While Milne and his family are swept up in the near immediate success of the books, the sweet and endearing tales bring a sense of hope to post-war Britain.
