To celebrate 90 years of two much-loved British icons, Winnie-the-Pooh and the Royal Birthday was released on May 26, as a brand new illustrated and audio adventure, narrated by Oscar winning actor Jim Broadbent and available for free at http://www.Disney.co.uk/WinnieRoyalBirthday.



This brand new story has been specially written to celebrate the upcoming official 90th birthday celebrations of Her Majesty The Queen, and also Winnie-the-Pooh's 90th anniversary, with October 2016 marking 90 years since his first publication and arrival in the Hundred Acre Wood.

Featuring Pooh's first ever meeting of the Royal Family, the tale beautifully presents the loveable bear and his friends embarking on an unforgettable journey from the Hundred Acre Wood to London with the wish of delivering their own thoughtful 90th birthday presents to The Queen. Illustrations drawn in the classic E.H. Shepard style by Mark Burgess see the nation's favourite bear and friends travelling through London on an open-top bus, taking in the sights including Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace guards, before a chance meeting with The Queen, which allows Pooh to present their birthday gifts.

Winnie-the-Pooh has had previous links with Her Majesty The Queen, with The Duke and The Duchess of York being presented with a Christopher Robin china nursery set with hand-coloured pictures of Christopher Robin, Pooh and friends, as a gift for a young Princess Elizabeth, who is believed to have loved the Winnie-the-Pooh stories as a child. The 1926 A. A. Milne book, 'Teddy Bear and the Other Songs from When We Were Very Young', was also dedicated to Princess Elizabeth upon her birth when it was published - though the new adventure is the first time the much-loved bear has 'met' Her Majesty in one of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories.

Winnie-the-Pooh is the world's most famous bear, and has been beloved by children around the world for almost 90 years. He appears in two storybooks :'Winnie-the-Pooh' and 'The House at Pooh Corner' - and two poetry collections : 'When We Were Very Young' and 'Now We Are Six', written by A. A. Milne and definitively illustrated by E. H. Shepard. With a rich storytelling heritage, the adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood represent friendship, simple joys and the curious and gentle nature of a child's imagination.
