(He left me a long time ago. Mysteriously, in my childhood, some toys in their Old Age just one day went to live in a place called (the Swedish word for) The Attic, and were never seen again. I suppose his name was probably the Swedish equivalent of Teddy ('Nalle'). <br />I have two little ones of later date sitting on a shelf in my study. One is Winne the Pooh (without label but ovbious incarnation of). The other, just Teddy (in English). Checking his label, I find that his surname is Time. (Maybe from now on he'll be Mr Time.)

I think he was originally a girl, as I seem to remember a check dress, but my Mum knitted him a red trouser suit many years ago, thus he became a boy! I don't think he had a name other than " Teddy".
