I saw this in a bookshop at lunchtime today and immediately bought a copy. I’d never imagined reading the Grinch in Latin.
Don’t forget Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis!
I bought a copy of that at the same bookshop last year. 
I still haven’t got that one but I want it badly. They offer it in ancient Greek as well (too bad it’s all Greek to me).
Really? Do you know whether the Greek version is a very recent publication? Because I asked the sales assistant about a Greek version of Harry Potter today and she said that she thought it was still in the translation stage.
I don’t have either of those, but there’s a copy of Virent Ova! Viret Perna! on my desk right in front of me, and somewhere or another I’ve a copy of Winnie Ille Pu lying around, too. My sister seems to have a knack for finding great birthday presents for me.
Here is the Ancient Greek Edition. I think I have it on my wish list, although I don’t know what I’d ever do with it besides use it to learn the alphabet.
Thanks for that Sausage. I’ve just ordered a copy.
No problem, tell me how it is! I want to get them both but I’ve got my eye on a copy of the Artes Latinae CD ROM.
I bought a copy of Green Eggs and Ham at the annual conference of the New England Classical Associatioon a few weeks ago. They also had The Cat in the Hat and others (although not the Grinch).
This kind of thing has been going on for years. I remember seeing Winni ille Pu (Winnie the Pooh) in latin ages ago.
I have the Cat in the Hat.
It’s great that the suggested reading level is 9 - 12. I guess that means the target audience is kids that are native Latin speakers rather than people that learn it later in life. Those kinds of kids get precious few opportunities to read Christmas classics in their native tongue.
My family got me both Winnie ille Pu and Quomodo Invidiosulus nomine Grinchus Christem Natalem Abrogaverit for Christmas last year.
Yes, this is terribly cool.
O Loca tu Ibis! (Oh the place’s you’ll go!)
I had to read it during high school Latin, third year as I recall. It’s really impressive because the can manage the rhyming fairly well and it was super fun to read.
Not to mention the book has special meaning to me.
Gotta love Bolchazy-Carducci for publishing these – I picked up Cattus Petasatus in a bookstore and was amazed at how much fun it was to read. Besides Grinch, Cat in the Hat, and Green Eggs and Ham, they also have Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree. Don’t miss the buttons.
I studied Latin in high school. My second year, my father gave me a copy of Winnie Ille Pu.
