Caroline Taggart

Caroline Taggart worked in publishing as an editor of popular nonfiction for 30 years before being asked to write I Used to Know That, which became a Sunday Times bestseller. Her later books include  My Grammar and I (Or Should That Be 'Me'?) and  Her Ladyship's Guide to the Queen's English. As a result, she has appeared frequently on BBC Breakfast and on national and regional radio, talking about language, grammar and Pythagoras's theorem. With her editorial hat on, she also visits writers' conferences around the country.

Samenvatting

A Classical Education provides many of the classical facts that modern schooling leaves out. Perfect for parents who wish to teach their children and for those who would like to learn or relearn the facts themselves, A Classical Education is informative and educational, but above all accessible.

Do you wish your Latin education extended beyond veni, vidi, vici? Or that the Greek alphabet weren’t, well, all Greek to you?

From engineering and architecture to drama and democracy, the world around us is founded on the principles and discoveries of the Ancients. So carpe diem and delve into this book – it is never too late to learn.
