This year marks the 100th anniversary of the beloved children's character Winnie-the-Pooh. The original book was published on October 14, 1926. In honor of this, the New York Public Library is celebrating the popular classic with Silly Old Bear! Winnie the Pooh at 100, an exhibit that will run through the end of the month.

The exhibit provides a brief history of the series. Items on display include mock-ups of some of E.H. Shepard's original drawings for the the books, some of the books in other languages including Latin, and the replacement Roo sent to the New York Library by Queen Camilla (the original was lost in an orchard years ago) as well as Lottie the Otter, a character created for the 2009 sequel,  Return to the Hundred Acre Wood, by author David Benedictus. The original Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger and Kanga that inspired the books are on display in the library's Polonsky Exhibition of the New York Public Library's Treasures.

And that's our view. For more about this exhibit, visit www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/silly-old-bear-winnie-pooh-100
