According to a 1984 New York Times profile of the book, the translator was "a 50- year-old Hungarian-born doctor who spoke 12 languages and who with his wife, Andrietta, had been resettled in Brazil in 1952 by the International Refugee Organization. One of their few possessions was an English-language version of 'Winnie the Pooh.'" Its surprise success internationally and especially in the U.S. was a Black Swan event, as it became "the only Latin book - and perhaps the only book in any foreign language - ever to become a New York Times best seller. Published in December 1960, it remained on the Times list for 20 weeks and sold 125,000 copies in 21 printings.".
