Letter: Price of Pooh
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Price of Pooh
Sir: There is a simple and rather heart-warming reply to Philip Stott's observation (letter, 14 July) on the relative value of an E H Shepard drawing and an original Maillol drawing or Bonnard lithograph, namely that A A Milne's creation has touched the lives of many more people in a much deeper way than any stuffy and precious work of art, however good.
I am rather pleased to see evidence that we have out priorities right. You may keep your etchings; I and many others will be happy to live with many childhood memories of a boy and his bear. Long live Pooh!
