"Winnie-the-Pooh and the Royal Birthday" sees the popular
bear from A.A. Milne's children's stories travel to London with
friends Christopher Robin, Piglet and Eeyore, where they take in
the famous sites and arrive at Buckingham Palace.
The short illustrated and audio story, which can be downloaded
for free, has been released to celebrate both birthdays.
Elizabeth turned 90 last month while Milne's first
Winnie-the-Pooh book came out in October 1926.
It was written by Jane Riordan and illustrated by Mark Burgess
in the style used by E.H. Shepard for Milne's stories.
"There's such a wit and a style to the stories that adults enjoy
reading them to children," British actor Jim Broadbent, who
narrates the audio story, said in a video release.
"... The children love them and they then love them and want to
pass them on to the next generation and they carry on."
