My sister demands that I return from trips abroad with assorted translations of Beatrix Potter... Anyone wishing to contribute to the collection will be reimbursed by PayPal. (It's amazing how few holiday resorts have bookshops catering for those with a natural age of 7...)
Can I read them all? No, of these only Spanish and Latin; but I do appreciate the differences in style and presentation. Our daughter's work some years ago involved a lot of travel to odd parts of Eastern Europe and she found me several, but the Spanish and German editions came back from our travels, and I spotted Vinni-Pukh in the Dom Knigi bookshop in Leningrad as was. When my Russian was better I did work through the Pooh-sticks story unaided.
So far as I know there is still no French translation available of the original text, only the Disney version - and French is my main language. I have enquired during various visits, without luck.
Bill's quote was nearly the title...

John, I should have guessed...
Being a bear of very little brain myself..........this is good to see 🐻🌻
Thanks early birds and thanks to Dave for the UA! (I like the emoji).
A lovely little composition here, Moira.

Thanks again folks. I think the message is - there's a lot of it about...
Nobody has commented on the fact that I overcame my tripodphobia, and distaste for small aperture for this one. It definitely needed both.

Great stories and a fine composition from your good self. Nice work

Steady, Moira, or you'll suddenly find yourself exalting the virtues of layers and layer masks.
I must hunt down a Norwegian version for our next trip over...
Leo, that's sweet. And of course Russian bears are iconic...
Thanks everyone!
Thanks everyone!
Personally I've a fondness for the Klingon version.
A fine collection here, Moira, can't say I've read any of 'em! 😁👍

Janet, I dropped Latin after the 3rd form, I mistakenly thought that I was a scientist and Latin didn't timetable with the sciences... But I kept it up. Some years ago I horrified Bill's then Head Teacher by telling him it was the most useful thing that I learned at school. It taught me grammar, and structured thinking.
Thanks again folks!

Quote:Isn't it funny what becomes our hobbies, passions or whatever. How did they start. Usually when we were very young.
Now the curious thing is that I didn't encounter Winnie as a child. Bill introduced me when we first met, in Lower Sixth. I guess that says something about Sixth Formers...
Definitely an award for :
1) an eccentric hobby
2) liking Winnie the Pooh
3) a fine photo (even allowing for the small aperture)

We all have our foibles! When visiting EBay I was amazed to find a section selling EMPTY malt whisky bottles!
Now if you emptied the bottles first before collecting them, that might be an interesting hobby but probably short-lived? Have you tried for a Gaelic one from Scotland?

Winnie the Pooh in Gaelic, I wonder...
Thanks everyone, and thanks to David for the UA. I promise that small aperture won't happen again in a hurry, but it was needed here to get both the spines and the background cover reasonably sharp, with the focus on the figurine. Which of course is horribly Disney...

An update - Winnie the Pooh exists in both Scots and Irish Gaelic, but not so far in Welsh.
'My spelling is wobbly. It's good spelling but it wobbles and the letters get in the wrong places.'
Nuff said. I'm still trying to master English! 🥴
Lovely image. The big book with all the Pooh stories is on the shelf above me. Time for a revisit. I think I'm old enough to get it now! 🤣
