Born in England in 1882, Alan Alexander Milne grew up with a love for exploring the woods with his brother and writing poems about their adventures. Alan carried that love into his adult life by exploring the woods with his son, Christopher Robin. Well known for his articles, plays, and novels, Alan considered himself a "serious" author.

Two People
"Two People" [is] an exploration of marriage between a couple (based on the Milnes) which adore each other but do not always connect intellectually or communicate effectively. Reginald Wellard has just - to his surprise - written a novel ("Bindweed") and - to his greater surprise - it is becoming very popular. His lovely and young wife Sylvia is supportive ("Of coruse you wrote a novel, darling. Fancy!") but is not able to engage him intellectually. This leads to his questioning of what marriage is and how well his own functions. This sounds heavy-handed, and though the novels deals with serious doubts, it is remains light ("mercurial" - Boston Transcript, 1931), effervescent, funny, and always charming. --Christy at www.goodreads.com.
