KEY POINTS:
A collection of E.H. Shepard's original drawings for the Winnie-the-Pooh books by A.A. Milne fetched around 1.3 million ($3.43 million) at auction yesterday, above the high pre-sale estimate. The sale also set a record for a drawing by the British artist, when one of his most recognisable images, He went on tracking, and Piglet ... ran after him, sold for 115,250, more than double expectations.
