According to a new book, Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World’s Most Famous Bear, the semi-literate bear is actually NOT British. She's Canadian.

Pooh was based after a real-life black bear cub purchased by a Canadian vet from a trapper in 1914.
The vet named the bear Winnie after his native Winnipeg, and brought the bear with him to England where he served as a mascot for his regiment. No word on Piglet.
