WINNIE-THE-POOH Translated

into Armenian

A Translation of A. A. Milne's

“Winnie-the-Pooh”

This is part of project to translate Winnie-the-Pooh into other languages. Children need to learn to read at an early age and the best way to teach them to read is to provide reading materials that they find interesting. Children around the world laugh when they see Winnie-the-Pooh saying and doing silly things. Since Winnie-the-Pooh is the most popular children's book world-wide, translating this book into the different languages of the world will be conducive to teaching children to read in those languages.

We are not translating the entire book. We are only translating Chapter 2, which is the most interesting, most popular and shortest chapter.

About the Author

It seems strange that A. A. Milne would have not have wanted to be associated with one of literature�s most beloved characters. Having achieved some success as a playwright and novelist, he aspired to be more than only an author of children�s books.

However, Milne�s books -- Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, and the verse collections When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six -- are hardly typical of most stories for kids. They remain among the smartest of the genre, and were likely written as much for himself as for his young son, Christopher. Infused with a sly wit, they contain humor that only an adult can appreciate; indeed, some of the poems in When We Were Very Young first appeared in the satiric magazine Punch, where Milne was an editor.

Rendered by illustrator Ernest H. Shepard in quaint, warm watercolors, Pooh and friends Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Eeyore, and Piglet star in stories about playing games and helping friends in and around their home near �100-Aker Wood.� In one instance of Milne�s ironic humor, a sign outside Owl�s residence reading �PLES RING IF AN RNSER IS REQIRD� is attributed to Pooh�s boy companion Christoper Robin, �who was the only one in the forest who could spell.� The books are written with sophistication and a certain amount of dry British wit, employing turns of phrase (�customary procedure,� �general remarks�) not usually found in children�s stories.

The volumes of verse range over a wider collection of themes, with Pooh appearing in just a few poems. Most of them offer a young person�s perspective on subjects such as imaginary friends, feigning illness, and going to the zoo; and it�s evident how Milne�s work prefigures that of Dr. Seuss (From Going to the Zoo: �There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons/A great big bear with wings/There�s sort of a tiny potamus/A tiny nossarus too�). Other poems feature cowardly knights, buffoonish Sirs, and other fantasy figures.

Little of Milne�s work for adults, which included the autobiography Year In, Year Out and his first novel, Lovers in London, can be easily found in print. One adult title, however, is still being published: the pleasing Gosford Park-style Red House Mystery.

Pooh, meanwhile, continues to grow as a powerful franchise, with modern-day titles, animation, and games that are almost as delightful as Milne�s original texts -- but not quite.
