What could be better than Winnie-the-Pooh? Winnie-the-Pooh in
Latin! A.A. Milne's irrepressible Winnie-the-Pooh is translated in
Latin in Ille Pu. Now back in print with a new introduction.
Featuring E.H. Shepard's original illustrations throughout, Ille Pu
is the perfect gift for those studying Latin or indeed for any fan
of the "Bear of Very Little Brain.... Originally a hit with critics
and classicists alike, this is a truly novel offering. The nation's
favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children
for 90 years. Milne's classic children's stories - featuring
Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself -
are both heart-warming and funny, teaching lessons of friendship
and reflecting the power of a child's imagination like no other
story before or since. Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character
such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of
our literary heritage. Whether you're 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for
all ages. A.A. Milne is quite simply one of the most famous
children's authors of all time. He created Winnie-the-Pooh and his
friends Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga and Roo based on the real
nursery toys played with by his son, Christopher Robin. And those
characters not only became the stars of his classic children's
books, Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, and his poetry
for children, they have also been adapted for film, TV and the
stage. Through his writings for Punch magazine, A.A. Milne met E.H.
Shepard. Shepard went on to draw the original illustrations to
accompany Milne's classics, earning him the name "the man who drew
Pooh.... Alexander Lenard was a Hungarian writer, poet, artist,
linguist and teacher. His Latin translation of Winnie-the-Pooh,
which took seven years to complete, was published in the UK in 1960
and immediately became a bestseller.
