Merrythought XAB11CRMT Little Edward Bear Christopher Robin’s

Little Edward is a simply beautiful, petite replica of the teddy bear who famously inspired AA Milne’s Winnie the Pooh stories. Originally created by Farnell in 1921, Edward is brought to life again by Merrythought as the star of major feature film ‘Goodbye Christopher Robin’.

Purchased from Harrods by Daphne Milne for the birthday of her son, Christopher Robin, Edward bear and his owner formed a unique bond and became the best of friends. However, following a trip to London Zoo, the young boy later renamed his bear after the zoo’s resident black bear Winnipeg, or Winnie for short. Christopher’s father, AA Milne, was enamoured by the wonderful partnership he witnessed between a boy and his teddy bear, and decided to pen stories about their journey through life together.

Hand-crafted in England using the same traditional skills and materials as Christopher Robin’s original Edward bear, this handsome chap features a rich, antique golden mohair coat and sandy-beige pure woollen felt paws. His deep amber eyes show a longing to be loved, which together with a hand-embroidered nose and endearing smile, give him a quintessential charm that can only be found in a teddy bear of such timeless design and heritage.

Created by Merrythought as a Special Edition, each Little Edward bear is individually numbered and presented in a unique ‘Farnell by Merrythought’ gift box – the perfect companion to take home this Christmas.

Size: Approx. 11in standing
Merrythought teddy bears are designed to be enjoyed by all whether children or collectors. We aim to promote the idea of giving a young child a teddy bear that will become his or her companion for life so a Merrythought teddy bear makes the perfect gift for a grandchild.

Originally Merrythought teddy bears had glass eyes (from 1930 onwards) but our bears are now made with plastic safety eyes. Our teddy bears are safety tested and suitable for children although it is advised that any accessories (such as labels, ribbons, clothing) are removed before giving to small children.

Excellent service - rang me within an hour or placing my order to tell me that one of my choices was out of stock and asked if I wanted to wait for new stock to come in, or if the smaller size would be suitable. My order arrived two days later.
