A small pig in a striped jumper offers a little gift to a gloomy donkey in E. H. Shepard's pen drawing, with A. A. Milne's line inside: "It's my birthday. The happiest day of the year." Shepard's drawings gave Milne's 1926 stories of a bear of very little brain and his friends their gentle look. For a birthday greeted with a wry smile.
