The first Winnie-the Pooh story was published in the London Evening News on the 24th of December 1925, and it was called The Wrong Sort of Bees based on a bedtime story that A.A. Milne told to his young son, Christopher. Its popularity led to Milne publishing his book ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ in 1926, and an adapted version of this story became the first chapter.
