From the Back Cover

'I found the course very clear and straightforward - the layout is uncluttered and explanations of grammatical points are clearly expressed. The inclusion of English to Latin exercises is a good thing: I see this as giving flexibility to the course…The course is certainly well suited to C.E. in terms of vocabulary and the presentation of the grammar. The exercises are such as to give confidence to the less able students.'

Jonathan Welch, Head of Classics, Kingshott School

 

'I think the new book is excellent...a most valuable and entertaining book.' John Smith, The Harrodian School
