Alan Alexander Milne

    18. leden 1882 – 31. leden 1956

    Alan Alexander Milne (často také psán jako A. A. Milne) (18. ledna 1882 Londýn – 31. ledna 1956 Hartfield, Sussex) byl anglický spisovatel a dramatik, proslulý především příběhy pro děti. Světovou proslulost získal zejména cyklem knih o Medvídkovi Pú (v angličtině Winnie-the-Pooh). Jeho tvorba je však daleko rozsáhlejší a je určená rovněž dospělým.
