Reviews' 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 . ; 'The narrator of a recent French historical novel muses: 'My whole life I owe to Greek. If I hadn't known how to conjugate the aorist, where to put the stresses, how to recite -mi verbs, I would never have been able to escape my menial little existence. Declensions proved to be the instrument of my ascent'. Pari passu and mutatis mutandis , that surely is what every reader will say after reading, marking and inwardly digesting Caroline Mackenzie's brilliant Latin Compendium.' - Professor Paul Cartledge, University of Cambridge . ; 'A handsome and lively introduction to Latin through its core vocabulary and derivatives. Everyone should have a copy.' - Dr Daisy Dunn, author of In the Shadow of Vesuvius. ; 'This delightful, illustrated book will serve two purposes: the straightforward English derivatives will help students remember their Latin vocabulary, and the recondite ones will give a head start for the Scrabble board or cryptic crossword.' - Dr John Taylor, author of Essential GCSE Latin . ; 'Latin can be fun, who knew? A real must for anyone learning Latin or interested in language. I genuinely LOVE this book. It is a fantastic idea and looks absolutely beautiful.' - Celia Rees, author and former English teacher. ; 'Elegantly presented, entertaining, and educational.' - Ruth Downie, author. ; 'The perfect book for anyone who, like me, wishes they had understood Latin at school. Why did our teachers tell us it is a "dead language", and not how useful it would be in real life?' - Janie Hampton, author. ; 'A thoroughly helpful volume, great for both reference and pleasure, ideal for both the crossword and the classroom.' - Michelle Lovric, author., "A Latin Lexicon achieves its threefold purpose through its clear presentation of information. It neither wanders into distraction nor omits what is necessary. A handsome hardback with heavy, slightly glossy pages, it has the feel of a substantial volume without intimidating the reader in tone or format." Perkins, Steven R., BMCR 2021.05.04, 'Carpe verba!
