This lovely work contains the glossary and notes by the amazing Alexander Lenard (listed by his name in Latin as Alexandro Lenardo), in consultation with Dr. Israel Walker. This is easily my favorite Latin book, and I have many. It's such a wonder, and an excellent choice for anyone just learning Latin, or who just likes to keep the old skills fresh.
Lenard manages to keep the sweetness and child-like flavor of the original. "Quo in capite Canga et Ru ille parvulus in silvam veniunt et Porcellus balneo utitur."

Five stars if only for the sheer novelty of trying to read "balloon" in Latin.
Wish I had found this years ago when I was teaching my kids Latin. I would really like to find a copy of the 32 page supplement by Dr Alexander Leonard and Dr. Israel Walker. The notes and glossary would be very helpful.
delightful

A prolific writer, A. A. Milne published 35 plays, 6 novels, 3 books of verse, 3 collections of short stories, and several works of nonfiction, including sketches for Punch magazine, of which he was the assistant editor. Nevertheless, his fame rests on four books for children: two of whimsical stories about the stuffed animals in his son's bedroom show more (Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner) and two of verse (When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six). All are considered classics and have been included among the Children's Literature Association's Touchstone books as the best in children's literature, on the Lewis Carroll Shelf list, and on the Choice magazine list of books for the academic library. He also wrote Toad of Toad Hall, a play based on Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, and Once upon a Time: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, both of which are sometimes included in volumes with the four classic works. Milne had a son, Christopher Robin, who served as the model for the little boy in his children's books. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
