Happy 90th birthday (10/14/16) to one of the world's most beloved icons of literature, Winnie-the-Pooh!
âPooh has been a classic for so long, it's about time it showed up in a classical tongue.â âThe New York Times Book Review
The publishing history of Winnie Ille Pu is among the most famous in all of publishing: how a privately printed Latin translation of A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh, originally issued in a 300-copy edition, eventually became the only book in Latin ever to grace the New York Times bestseller list. Whether you're calling on long-ago high school Latin lessons or are fully proficient in the language, you'll delight in once again meeting Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Owl, Piglet, Kanga, tiny Roo, and, of course, Pooh himself.
This is a revised edition with notes and a glossary.

What reviewers said
âAn altogether ingenious tour de force.â
âA book anyone with even the slightest knowledge of Latin can enjoy . . . It does more to attract interest in Latin than Cicero, Caesar, and Virgil combined.â
âPooh has been a classic for so long, it's about time it showed up in a classical tongue.â
âSurely the ultimate canonization of a great children's classic.â
âA brilliantly funny book . . . Nothing is skipped, every word is there.â
âProof that humor is not dead, even if Latin is supposed to be.â
