Origin[]

The Backson is a creature imagined by Owl after misunderstanding Christopher Robin's note, which meant he would be "back soon" from school. He is mentioned but not seen in The House at Pooh Corner as "the Spotted or Herbaceous Backson". In the original story "In Which Rabbit has a Busy Day and We Learn What Christopher Robin Does in the Mornings," Rabbit finds a note from Christopher Robin and asks the others if they have spotted a herbaceous or spotted Backson until another note from Christopher Robin is found with better spelling.
