A marvellous translation, filled with delightful touches . Extremely enjoyable Latin reading material. Kudos to Peter Needham for what I think is a wonderful translation!

Report

The translation is great stuff. It is accurate and fluent, but it is much more than that. It has been carried off with wit, inventiveness, sensitivity and panache. I find it impossible to think of it being better done James Morwood, Oxford University
