An essential tool for learning Latin, based around the GCSE word lists of OCR and WJEC. Each Latin word is translated and provided with a set of derivatives, some common and others less so. Space is given for readers to annotate as they learn, and to note other derivatives they may come across too. A concise introduction and a glossary of Latin in common usage combine to make this a vade mecum for all learners of Latin as well as cruciverbalists. The text is imaginatively punctuated by 20 illustrations by Amanda Short.
