A birthday letter from'Foot Pooh' to an 11-year-old boy was released at the auction site in 85 years.

On the 25th of local time, foreigners such as the BBC reported that a short letter from writer Ernest Howard Shepherd, who illustrated the series'The Winnie the Pooh', was sold at an incredible price.

This letter, sent to a recipient named'Buffkins' on March 23, 1935, depicts the pooh and piglet in tears. The scribbled post says, "I'm so sorry I couldn't go to the birthday party on the 30th. But we have to go somewhere else. Thank you for inviting us."

'Buffkins' is the childhood nickname of Harry Stopps, the recipient of this letter. Young Harry, who loved the'Foot Pooh' series, invited Pour to his birthday party, and Shepard, a picture writer who was close to Harry's mother, would attend the party on behalf of Phu.

But when Harry's eleventh birthday was approaching, when Shepard was busy and couldn't go to the party, he was said to be in the position of Pooh and wrote a letter apologizing to Harry. 
The letter was discovered in the course of Mr. Harry's death in 2014, when he died at the age of 90, and his wife and family were looking at an attic full of all sorts of odds and ends. Chris Albury, an auctioneer who recognized the value of this letter, was delighted to say, "I found this painting and my heart stopped for a while."

As a result of the appraisal, the'Winnie the Pooh' letter was found to have a value of 2,000 pounds (approximately 3 million won) to 4,000 pounds (approximately 6 million won). It was sold for about 18.86 million won in money.
