Christopher Robin

I saw the picture in this article in my Daily Express this morning.

Although he subsequently turned out to be "normal", it seems he had an awkward childhood.

I quote from the article:

"Early photographs of the young Christopher Robin show a doe-eyed child whose longish hair and delicate  ­features made it difficult to determine the gender.

His biographer Ann Thwaite claimed: 'His long hair reminded his mother of the girl she had wanted and the father of the boy he himself had been.' As an adult Christopher Robin described his boyhood self as 'small for his age, underweight, needs  ­fattening up and girlish.'"
