Barbara Bell, the Joint Association of Classical Teachers Fourth edition Cambridge School Classics Project

‘Minimus the mouse starts craze for Latin.’ Daily Telegraph

The popular Cambridge Latin Course has been revised for a fourth edition. The new books retain the fundamental elements of the original course, including the storylines, but a number of new features have been added. The books are in full colour, using a larger format to make them clearer and easier to use. Glossaries are now placed alongside the text, allowing for quicker reference. A wide range of colour photographs and illustrations have been included to integrate language and culture and provide greater visual appeal. The questions have been revised and expanded to help students with their understanding of the comprehension passages. The culture sections have been fully updated to take account of recent research into the Roman world.

Minimus provides an excellent introduction to Latin for 7–11 year olds. It is ideal for developing language awareness and helps pupils with the basics of English as well as other foreign languages. It also provides background to the culture of Roman Britain. Mimimus comprises an attractive, full colour Pupil’s Book, which is extensively illustrated, and a Teacher’s Resource Book. Minimus Secundus is an exciting progression from Minimus. Continuing the precedent set by Minimus, Minimus Secundus combines the teaching of Latin vocabulary and grammar with a fascinating insight into the the culture of Roman Britian. Review material means you can use Minimus Secundus without first using Minimus.
