Christopher Robin is a character in the Winnie the Pooh books. He is a young boy who is one of Winnie the Pooh's best friends. His other stuffed animals are Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Kanga, Roo, Owl and Eeyore.
He was based upon the author A. A. Milne's own son, Christopher Robin Milne, who in later life became unhappy with the use of his name, writing in one of a series of autobiographical works: "It seemed to me almost that my father had got where he was by climbing on my infant shoulders, that he had filched from me my good name and left me nothing but empty fame."
