- Abstract
- en_US This is a fine book! It is worth the rather high cost for a paperback. It is built around eighty intelligible Latin fables by Robert Codrington from Francis Barlow's 1867 edition. Forty of the fables are illustrated with Barlow's illustrations. For each fable, Gibbs offers a short introduction that offers both hints about meaning and references to fables presenting related themes and animals. For each fable there is a one-paragraph grammar review. Along with the text come vocabulary and comments. Arranged around the book are helpful short proverbial slogans bearing on the fable at hand. At the front of the book is a list of frequent vocabulary a reader would do well to know. In her introduction Laura Gibbs offers students a helpful and realistic method for understanding a Latin text. I look forward to using this book with my Latin students near the end of their intensive course this summer!
