Avem Occidere Mimum

Someone rare has written this very fine novel, a writer with the liveliest sense of life and the warmest, most authentic humour. A touching book; and so funny, so likeable. -- Truman Capote * (on To Kill A Mockingbird) * There is humour as well as tragedy in this book, besides its faint note of hope for human nature; and it is delightfully written. -- Sunday Times * (on To Kill A Mockingbird) * On nearly every page there is some felicity of composition to be admired, some turn of phrase that arouses admiration for the translator. In its entirety, it is an extraordinary work - it is a wonderfully good read. -- Theodore Brennan, Professor of Philosophy and Classics, Cornell University * (on Andrew Wilson's translation of Harry Potter) * There is actually a substantial body of evidence that children who study Latin outperform their peers when it comes to reading, reading comprehension and vocabulary. -- Toby Young * Spectator *
