First time in paperback!
By now the publishing history of Winnie Ille Pu is one of the most famous in all of publishing annals: how a privately printed Latin translation of A. A. Milne's Winnie the pooh, originally issued in a three-hundred-copy edition. eventually became the only book in Latin ever to grace The New Times best-seller list. Now the Latin Winnie is here in paperback to bring delight to linguistically minded readers of all ages.
Born in Budapest in 1910, Alexander Lenard was a graduate of the famous Theresianum in Vienna. A refugee . from Hitler who migrated to Brazil by way of Rome, he worked variously as a pharmacist, math teacher, quiz show contestant, farmer, painter, poet, and pianist as well as, of course, a translator. At the time of his death in 1972 he was fluent in twelve languages. Winnie Ille Pu was the product of over seven years of work, beginning with a German translation of the famous classic in 1951, on which A. A. Milne personally congratulated him.

Work Description
A.A. Milne's Pooh stories need no introduction; they have been loved by generations of children and their parents ever since they were first published in 1926.
In his autobiography, Milne wrote: 'The animals in the stories came for the most part from the nursery. My collaborator [his wife] had already given them individual voices, their owner by constant affection had given them the twist in their features which denotes character, and Shepard drew them, as one might say, from the living model.'
