A page from the very popular Victorian children's books about the hapless Private Pooh and his superior, Captain Christopher Robin, written under the pseudonym “A Private Soldier”, rumored to be the works of Sir Harry Paget Flashman, VC KCB KCIE, 1822-1915, for his many illegitimate children, but never proven. These were believed to be political satire, lampooning Victorian personalities and wars. In any case, millions of children loved the books and the series had some later imitations.
