Book Reviews of Fairy Tales in Latin: Fabulae Mirabiles (Latin Edition)
Book Review: Excellent reader!
Summary: 5 Stars
What do you do when you've completed a text of basic Latin grammar, but aren't ready yet for Cicero? For me, FAIRY TALES IN LATIN is a great solution:
1. I know the stories so well, they almost tell themselves.
2. I found myself breezing through grammar that gave me grief when I was learning it. I read right through the subjunctive, conditionals, and more without even realizing it!
3. The writers put to good use the repetition common to fairy tales by using different voices and vocabulary.
4. While you'll probably never again see a few of the new vocabulary (did the ancient Romans eat porridge?), there's *plenty* that you will.
Word order is more English than Latin. But at this stage of the game, I think that's a good thing. The experts may hold a different opinion.
All I know is that this book has solidified my ability to read selections that include many areas of grammar, and has expanded my vocabulary.
There are no macrons in either the stories themselves or the glossary. Don't panic! It becomes easy fast. Hey, we'll have to face de-macroned Latin sometime :-)
I just love that, with only a little effort, I can read through these stories. In Latin! Get this book.
