As USA Today reported, the movie centers on the father/son relationship between Milne and Christopher Robin, whose stuffed toys inspired Milne to create the magical world of Pooh Bear, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger and the rest of the gang that inhabited the books Winnie-the-Pooh in 1926 and The House at Pooh Corner two years later.
The tomes took England by storm following World War I, but also overshadowed all of Milne’s previous works and put an international spotlight on the family and their nanny Olive (played by Kelly Macdonald).
Pre-orders are coming, everyone! We’ve set a tentative date of February 1, and if all goes smoothly, pre-orders will start then.
Fast facts:
The Wayfaring Strangers zine will be:
Hardcover!
9x12 in!
112 full-color pages!
The zine will cost $25 USD+shipping.
Each and every one will come with a glossy dust jacket print, 2 Polaroid prints, 2 charms, and a sticker sheet.
The zine will be available at themysteryshack.com and on Amazon.
It’s a charity zine, and all proceeds will go to StandUp for Kids.
More information will come as we get closer to the pre-order date, which is subject to change. Neither TheMysteryofGF nor I have done something like this before, so there might still be a few hiccups that push the pre-order date back. Hopefully that won’t be the case, but of course I’ll keep you informed on this blog of any changes.
Artists: please remember that you’ll be able to post your completed pieces once zines have begun to ship out. Thank you so much for your patience! Don’t forget that you’re entitled to one free zine bundle (More details on that to come; international folks: don’t forget about having to pay shipping costs)! You’re also more than welcome to purchase a copy if you’re interested in helping to donate towards the charity!
We’re all really excited to finally get this into your hands. We’ve got 100 great pieces of art, and hopefully the whole book will turn out as amazing as it looks on my computer screen.
For folks interested in digital copies: No word on that just yet. Again, I’ll be sure to update as soon as I know.
Remember: Every reblog helps us make this project a success! <3
