Kareni Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Very neat! I shared the original link with my daughter (who majored in Latin at college). She has a number of children's books in Latin including Fabula de Petro Cuniculo: The Tale of Peter Rabbit in Latin (Latin Edition) Hobbitus Ille: The Latin Hobbit Winnie Ille Pu (Latin Edition) Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Latin edition) Harrius Potter et Camera Secretorum (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Latin Edition) Alicia in Terra Mirabili (Latin Edition) Regulus (Latin) Fairy Tales in Latin: Fabulae Mirabiles… Ferdinandus Taurus (Latin Edition) Olivia: The Essential Latin Edition Virent Ova! Viret Perna!! (Green Eggs and Ham in Latin) Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus in Latin!:… and probably a few I'm forgetting!

umsami Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yes, I saw Harry Potter in Latin, too. Much more fun than the "Civis Romanus" I read as a kid in Latin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Love the idea of the quality children's books in Latin, but Diary of a Wimpy Kid? Really? The English version was a waste of time, imagine having to translate the Latin version. :leaving: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
