In the meantime, I’ll be posting the Latin text of the fables with their vocabulary every day. Look forward to the book sometime in July or August. In the meantime check out my other published works here:

And check out this beginner Latin novella adapted from the Aeneid:
Dum puer in prato oves pascebat, per iocum saepe clamavit, “Lupus adest! Lupus adest!” Agricolae undique ad pratum cucurrit, sed, quod erat nullus lupus, erat irati. Puer saepius[1] clamavit lupum; agricolae itaque non venerunt ubi lupus inter oves aderat.
