Locked in a glass cabinet on the second floor of New York City's 53rd Street public library sits a football-size teddy bear. Kind of ragged-looking—but it's the foundation of a billion-dollar enterprise. This plaything once belonged to the late Christopher Robin Milne, son of British author A.A. Milne, creator of Winnie the Pooh. The author has been dead for 44 years, but Pooh Bear still provides plenty of comfort to his beneficiaries, thanks to the millions of dollars in royalties that flow into the Milne estate each year.
