Author Brian Sibley - who penned Winter: In Which Penguin Arrives In The Forest, one of four seasonal stories to be featured in the yet-to-be published book – explained: "For someone who has loved Winnie-the-Pooh and co from his earliest childhood, the idea of visiting Hundred Acre Wood in search of a new story was wildly exciting.”

He told The Telegraph that Penguin was inspired by a photograph of Milne and his son playing with a penguin toy – right alongside the iconic teddy that became known as Winnie-the-Pooh.

"The thought of Pooh encountering a penguin seemed no more outlandish than his meeting a kangaroo and a tiger in a Sussex wood," said Sibley, "so I started thinking about what might have happened if, on a rather snowy day, Penguin had found his way to Pooh Corner."
