(London) — The original map of Winnie the Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood is selling at auction for a record amount. The hand-drawn illustration from 1926 shows the places made famous by Winnie the Pooh author AA Milne, including Eeyore’s gloomy place, the pit where Roo plays, and “where the Woozle wasn’t.” The map was sold at a Sotheby’s auction for a record 570-thousand-dollars, which is the highest bid ever for a book illustration.
