Caroline Taggart is the bestselling author of I Used to Know That and, in the same series, A Classical Education and An Apple a Day. She also co-wrote My Grammar and I (or should that be 'Me'?). Her other books include Her Ladyship's Guide to the Queen's English, The Book of English Place Names and The Book of London Place Names. She also appears frequently on radio and TV giving her opinion on such subjects as whether or not there should be an apostrophe in Druids Cross and, if so, where it should go.

Reviews for A Classical Education: The Stuff You Wish You'd Been Taught At School

See if you can tell your Tantalus from your Tacitus! * The Daily Telegraph * This book aims to fill you in on the stuff you wish you'd been taught at school * The Times * An invaluable overview of the principles and discoveries of the Ancients, providing all those classical facts that modern schooling leaves out... and many more * Lancashire Evening Post * A cutely old-fashioned volume covered in Roman centurions' helmets * Yorkshire Post * This book will jog the memory just enough, reviving tales of heroic deeds and ungodly behaviour, without getting bogged down in dull technicalities * The Field * If you wished you'd paid more attention at school, then this is the book for you. Fascinating! * The Good Book Guide *
