Narrated excellently by Bill Wallis, very much in the Stephen Fry style. This audio book covers the key elements of the classical world in a brief but comprehensive manner and does so in a light hearted and entertaining style. A great way to get introduced to these important themes but ones which usually appear to dry or daunting in their usual serious presentation. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. It is light enough to be easily digestible but serious enough that it gives you a good insight into the classics. Whitty and engaging this is a favourite audiobook while travelling back and forwards to work. ( )

Short and amusing refresher "course" on stuff you should already know. ( )

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. At first I thought it would be a boring book about the pros and cons of a classical education when the reality was quite different. It's a very easy and fast read.

The author had a very jovial way of getting the different aspects of what a classical education includes (for example, Greek Mythology etc). She spoke about all the different players in Greek, Roman and modern literature, history, architecture and art, to name a few.

I was always found Greek Mythology, particularly, very interesting. However, Caroline Taggart managed to show me just how incestuous, among other things, the gods of Greek Mythology were. I laughed at their antics as well as finding myself thinking just how weird they all were.

I would definitely recommend others to read this book especially if you want a concise account of classical education that helps to demystify this area of education. ( )

An easy to read, often humorous run through the classical world. Language, myths, history, literature and philosophy are all covered. Obviously nothing is discussed in depth because it's not that kind of book but I still learned quite a bit from this broad sweep. Type of book to dip into now and again. ( )
