How to Teach Classics to Your Dog by Philip Womack

An introduction to the classical world for youand your canine

‘The strength of Womack’s book lies in the enthusiasm with which its author lays on the plate a vast range of material for dog and man… at any moment Brenda Hale, Donna Tartt, David Bowie, Molesworth, Stephen Fry or a reference to an obscure scholarly article… might leap from the page… There’s plenty here, then, to catch the attention and arouse the interest of the curious’

* Literary Review *

‘Engaging and funny and clever. Written with the verve of a novelist and the insights of a scholar. Illuminates the pleasures and relevance of the Classics today.’

-- Dr Harry Sidebottom, Oxford don and author of the bestselling Warrior of Rome series

‘Philip’s whimsical tale of classical chats with his dog offers a new kind of introduction to the ancient world: immensely informative, wrapped in an engagingly casual tone, complemented by more than a dash of the bizarre. You’d be barking to miss it.’

-- Professor Michael Scott, Academic, Author and Broadcaster

‘Mirabile dictu! Philip Womack and Una – his optima canis – are tremendous companions in their journey round the classical world. The ultimate vademecum…’

* Harry Mount, author of Amo, Amas, Amat… and All That *

‘Una’s personality shines through and Womack’s enthusiasm is infectious.’

* Wunderdog *

'Lively and informative.'
