Reviews: How to Teach Classics to Your Dog in Wunderdog; The Arrow of Apollo in Argo.

 Today we give thanks for the existence of specialist magazines. The brilliant Wunderdog has reviewed How to Teach Classics to Your Dog; and Argo, the magazine of the Hellenic Society, has reviewed The Arrow of Apollo.

Leonie Breeds in Argo was very perceptive about The Arrow, and finishes her kind review: "As you read, you find yourself immersed in a fastmoving but well-structured plot. This is a book to be enjoyed."

Launch of How to Teach Classics to Your Dog, and a review of Peter Stothard


 Today is the day we are launching HOW TO TEACH CLASSICS TO YOUR DOG, my quirky introduction

to the Greeks and the Romans. I very much hope that you enjoy it, and also, if you do, would be very grateful for any reviews. You can order a copy here, from Waterstones, or pop into your local independent bookshop.

I've reviewed Peter Stothard's new book, with a suitably classical theme, The Last Assassin, for The Spectator. Read it here.
