Piglet's creator is A.A. Milne, a British author who wrote the Winnie-the-Pooh series of books in the 1920s. His full name was Alan Alexander Milne, and he was born in London in 1882. He was a prolific writer, producing plays, novels, poetry, and essays, but he is best remembered for his children's stories about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. The characters of Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, and Christopher Robin were all based on his son, Christopher Robin Milne.
