Just back from holiday and trying to catch up! I noticed the following and
thought I would add what little I know. Brian Jones died in the swimming pool
of his house in Hartfield, a tiny village near where I live. The house had
previously been owned by AA Milne and was hence the home of Christopher Robin
which, no doubt, is the reason for the title of the book. "Who killed Cock
Robin" is the title of a well known nursery rhyme but I can't really think of
any link Joni could have made between Cock Robin and Christopher Robin the
former being a bird and the latter a boy.
