Publishers in Britain and the United States say the world's favorite "silly old bear" is back.

They say they'll publish a new book of Winnie-the-Pooh adventures on Oct. 5. "Return to the Hundred Acre Wood" is the first authorized sequel to A.A. Milne's stories.

It'll be published in Britain by Egmont Publishing and in the U.S. by Penguin imprint Dutton Children's Books.

The book is written by novelist and playwright David Benedictus and illustrated by British artist Mark Burgess.

The "bear of very little brain" first appeared in 1926 in Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh," which featured E.H. Shepard's iconic line drawings. A second book, "The House at Pooh Corner," also recounted the gentle adventures of Christopher Robin and his animal friends in the Hundred Acre Wood.

Hmmm....this should be interesting.. I guess either the Milne family or Disney approved of this??? I haven't payed much attention to the ole lawsuit. I'll definatly be buying this tho. Altho Im not sure if It'll be as good as the original books (which I of course have). I sure as heck didn't like the official sequel to Peter Pan. :/
