Reviews:
"This is an entertaining and thoughtful introduction to a wide range of writings that are sure to inspire readers new to Greek. It enhances From Alpha to Omega, but it will be valuable and rewarding to anyone at the beginning or intermediate levels."
—Wilfred E. Major, Louisiana State University
"This is a marvelous, graded reader to complement From Alpha to Omega. These adapted stories are grounded in real literature—just the sort of pay-off students want and need for all their efforts in learning Greek. The selections are well-chosen. A real confidence-booster for beginning readers of Greek!"
—Mark Usher, University of Vermont
