denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934). During World
War II, Milne was one of the most prominent critics of English
writer P. G. Wodehouse. Milne accused Wodehouse of committing an
act of near treason by cooperating with his country's enemy.
He married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913, and their only
son, Christopher Robin Milne, was born in 1920. In 1925, A. A. Milne
bought a country home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex. He
retired to the farm after a stroke and brain surgery in 1952 left him an
invalid, and by August 1953 "he seemed very old and
disenchanted". Milne died in January 1956, aged 74.
