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.
