Notes byWalker, Israel
Reviews"An altogether ingenious tour de force." -The Washington Post "A 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." - Chicago Tribune "Pooh has been a classic for so long, it's about time it showed up in a classical tongue." -The New York Times Book Review. "Surely the ultimate canonization of a great children's classic." - Des Moines Register "A brilliantly funny book . . . Nothing is skipped, every word is there." -New York Herald Tribune Book Review "Proof that humor is not dead, even if Latin is supposed to be." -New York World Telegram & Sun "It is hard to conceive of a Latin work more calculated than this attractive volume to fascinate the modern public, young and old." -Christian Science Monitor

Christophorus Robinus and friends
Meet Pu, Porcellus et Ior, our old friends, in an older tongue. As delightful in Latin if you've had even just one year of the language, as it is in English. I first saw this many years ago and never forgot "Locus ubi vusillus aberat" "the place where the woozle wasn't", on the map.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
