learners of Latin as well as cruciverbalists.

 

'Declensions have for some proved to be the instrument of their ascent.
'Pari passu' and 'mutatis mutandis', that will indubitably be true for every
lector of Caroline Mackenzie's brilliant Latin compendium.' Professor Paul
Cartledge, University of Cambridge.

 

' 'Carpe verba'! (Grasp the words!) A hugely fun and useful tool for Latin
learners. I wish I'd had this book when I was learning Latin.' Caroline
Lawrence, author of 'The Roman Mysteries'.  

 

'This is just the ticket for GCSE students and crossword addicts alike.' Dr
John Taylor, University of Manchester.
