Return to the Hundred Acre Wood is a Winnie-the-Pooh novel published on 5 October 2009.
Written by David Benedictus and illustrated by Mark Burgess, it was the first such book since 1928 and introduced the character Lottie the Otter.
The trustees replied that they were unable to publish the stories because "Walt Disney owned all the rights."
Lottie is said to be a "feisty" character who is also said to be good at cricket and insists on proper etiquette.
According to Benedictus, "Lottie the Otter truly embodies Winnie-the-Pooh's values of friendship and adventure seen throughout Milne's work, thus making the perfect companion for everyone's favourite bear.
