Winnie the Pooh Chess Sets
Based on the characters created by A.A. Milne and beautifully
illustrated by E.H. Shepard, SAC’s
designers have recreated the wonderful world of Winnie
the Pooh for chess lovers young and old. Translated into almost every known
language, Winnie the Pooh and his friends have
universal appeal.
In 1966 Walt Disney brought the stories to film and in 1977 the
first feature length animated film of Pooh, ‘The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh’, was released. All the main
characters from the stories are represented in this set from Winnie the Pooh, Kanga and Owl to Tigger,
Eeyore and Piglet.
SAC has represented the King by Winnie
the Pooh himself and the queen by Kanga, the sweet caring mother of baby Roo. The owl, supposedly the wisest creature in 100 Acre
Wood, is the bishop and Eeyore, the gloomy grey
donkey, is the knight. Tigger the bouncy is the Rook
and Piglet, Pooh’s best friend, is the pawn.
These beautiful chess sets appeal to all ages and come complete with an
illustrated board and a full set of rules.
