Review "The book is excellent, stimulating, lively and probably the best elementary reader Ive seen for communicating something of how Latin was probably spoken. ...[It] is extremely well planned, very sensibly graded in the rising degree of difficulty from one chapter to the next, and all in all the ideal companion to Wheelock." -- Michael Dewar, University of Calgary Long Description Auricula Meretricula is a unique play for students in their first semester of Latin.
