Description

Narrated by the chatty and imaginative Roman poet Ovid, this brand new kind of Latin course takes the reader on a journey through some of the tales from Ovids Metamorphoses. Along the way, readers pick up Latin words and grammar and are encouraged to explore the connections between Latin and English, as well as the ways in which Ovid's stories still speak to us today.

Reviews

Really inviting and engaging, with clear explanations and beautiful and fun illustrations by Soham De...an inviting, absorbing, and embracing learning experience...It's a beautiful beginners' book, the like of which most of us never had in the past, and I look forward to its success and the love that its students will have for it in years to come. -- The Classics Library
Telling Tales in Latin will delight all who read it...This little book focuses excellently on the importance of literacy and language and makes it a superb and stimulating introduction to learning Latin...It is one of the best Latin course books currently available and will undoubtedly prove to be a great success, particularly with younger children. Congratulations to Lorna Robinson who has produced a real masterpiece, which brings the subject to life. -- Stephen Addis (retired classics teacher with 36 years' teaching experience)
This would be an excellent choice of text to teach children aged 9 and upwards the rudiments of Latin, and as the book has all the vocabulary needed for the OCR exam, it is a very versatile text indeed. * The Garden Window Blog *
