I've had lots of requests for a particular quote that doesn't actually occur in any of the Milne books - so many, in fact, that I've added this page to explain.

Many people have asked where this quote comes from:
"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live
to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to
live without you."
It is variously attributed to Pooh speaking to Piglet, Pooh to Christopher Robin, or Piglet to Pooh.

Now I don't know what the source of this quote is, but it's definitely not in any of the Pooh books.  It may possibly be from one of the Disney adaptations, but I suspect that it is actually a scrambled version of this quote, which is from "House at Pooh Corner", right at the end where Christopher Robin is speaking to Pooh about going off to school:

                "Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever.  Not even when I'm a hundred."
Pooh thought for a little.
"How old shall I be then?"
"Ninety-nine."
Pooh nodded.
"I promise," he said.

The surprising thing is that so many people know of the incorrect quote - and that they all have the wording exactly the same.  So it doesn't seem to random mangling of the original quote.  It's also not from the Disney movie "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh", but I can't be sure about any of the other movies.

So, here comes a request - if you do know where this quote comes from, please let me know.  I'll put it up here, give you lots of credit, and try to pass the answer back to all those people who e-mailed me for help :-)
