In the wake of last year’s award-winning book about the real bear that inspired A.A. Milne’s beloved Winnie-the-Pooh stories, a Western Washington University graduate returns to Bellingham with her tales of the places that became legendary as the Hundred Acre Wood.

Kathryn Aalto — now a writer, teacher, naturalist and landscape designer living in England — will read from “The Natural World of Winnie the Pooh” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18, at Village Books, 1200 11th St.
