'This is a book of very great value and will be eagerly received by classicists… Its great virtues are lucidity of explanation, utterly authentic ‘scholarship-style’ questions appended to the passages…and sheer scope of relevant practice delivered.' —Chris Jackson, Head of Classics, King’s College School, London
