I don't remember if the real C.R. Milne committed suicide or if I'm
thinking of someone else, but it's been widely reported he pretty much
never forgave his father for turning him into a children's fictional
character. Apparently the ages of 10-12 are not happy ones at an
English boy's school when your classmates discover you're Christopher
Robin going hoppity-hoppity-hop.
Adamantius
"Most men worry about their own bellies, and other people's souls,
when we all ought to worry about our own souls, and other people's
bellies."
-- Rabbi Israel Salanter
