How to Teach Classics to Your Dog

Reviews / Votes

'The strength of Womack's book lies in the enthusiasm with which its author lays on the plate a vast range of material for dog and man... at any moment Brenda Hale, Donna Tartt, David Bowie, Molesworth, Stephen Fry or a reference to an obscure scholarly article... might leap from the page... There's plenty here, then, to catch the attention and arouse the interest of the curious.' * <i>Literary Review</i> * 'Engaging and funny and clever. Written with the verve of a novelist and the insights of a scholar. Illuminates the pleasures and relevance of the Classics today.' -- Dr Harry Sidebottom, Oxford don and author of the bestselling <i>Warrior of Rome</i> series 'Philip's whimsical tale of classical chats with his dog offers a new kind of introduction to the ancient world: immensely informative, wrapped in an engagingly casual tone, complemented by more than a dash of the bizarre. You'd be barking to miss it.' -- Professor Michael Scott, Academic, Author and Broadcaster 'Mirabile dictu! Philip Womack and Una - his optima canis - are tremendous companions in their journey round the classical world. The ultimate vademecum...' * Harry Mount, author of <i>Amo, Amas, Amat... and All That</i> * 'Una's personality shines through and Womack's enthusiasm is infectious.' * <i>Wunderdog</i> * 'Lively and informative.' -- Classics For All
