Description
The Original Adventures of Hank the Cowdog in Latin, what? That sounds so fun doesn't it? Intermediate Latin students familiar with the funny cowboy stories of farm pooch Hank will get such a kick out of this version. While not a word-for-word translation, (there are allusions to classic works by Caesar, Cicero and Vergil) copious footnotes and a glossary aid the reader. It is fun just to see what you recognize as a Latin student. It might even become a goal to read the whole book! If you have a fan of the Hank series and are having a go at learning Latin, please try this book! It is both informative and hilarious! ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Hank the Cowdog in Latin: Hancus ille Vaccanis
Hank the Cowdog is the chief of security on the ranch. He keeps unwanted hombres such as porcupines, at bay, often with little praise from his cantankerous master and little help from his ally, the dim-witted Drover. However, when he ends up becoming the number 1 suspect for a murder and he ends up having to join a gang of coyotes. At first he is accepted as one of their own, but what Hank do when they coyotes attack his own ranch?
For readers familiar with the story of Hank the Cowdog, this Latin translation by Karen T. Moore will be entertaining and instructive. Latin is meant to be spoken and read, not just a bunch of words and charts to memorize. This fun story brings the classical language to life for students.
