Description
In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian on his solution to generally tend horses in World War I, followed his heart and rescued a baby bear. He named her Winnie, after his place of birth of Winnipeg, and he took the bear to war.
Harry Colebourn’s real-life great-granddaughter tells the actual story of a remarkable friendship and an much more remarkable journey–from the fields of Canada to a convoy around the ocean to an army base in England…
And after all to the London Zoo, where Winnie made any other new friend: a real boy named Christopher Robin.
