Customer Reviews

Simple, but a Worthwhile Read

Although the texts within this series are relatively simple, they are an excellent source of review for those who continue their studies of Latin beyond the first year. Fabulae Romanae works best as a reader complimenting a more structured textbook-based course. It is too disorganized in its approach to grammar and vocabulary to be valuable as a primary textbook. The texts can be a good fortifier of basic skills for the more advanced student, though. Everything from ablative absolutes to supines is covered at some point. The historical blurbs are especially valuable as a more simple compliment to students who are beginning to read Livy, Cicero, and Sallust.

Good Text, but difficult translations

I enjoyed using this book in school, but found some of the translations difficult do. The subject material and grammar is very easy to follow and learn!
