After the injury, Christopher was released from service in the army and returned to Cambridge.

At the end of his studies, Christopher received a bachelor's diploma of the third degree in English. His parents were against this marriage.

In the year, a few months after the death of his father, Christopher had a daughter Claire Miln, who was diagnosed with children's cerebral paralysis. At the age of 52, Christopher, giving the reins of the Board of Leslie, began to write an autobiography, the first part of which came out under the name “Enchanted Places”. In it, he spoke about the problems that he had to face in childhood because of Winnie the Pooh.

The second was called the “Way through the Trees” and touched the same topics, the third - “Emptiness on the hill,” said about his philosophical view of life. The genuine toys of Christopher, which served as the prototypes of the heroes of his father’s books, were donated by the New York Public Library. Christopher Robin Miln died in a dream on April 20.
