Fabulae Ancillantes

This collection of ancillary Latin narrative passages supplements
the Cambridge Latin Course, and can be used to provide extra practice in
translation and/or comprehension, or to provide material for evaluation purposes
on tests and examinations. Over the last 20 years, these stories have served both purposes in the classes
for which they have been composed.
The Cambridge Latin Course is successful in preparing students to read and understand Latin, mainly because its stories are so interesting that students want to be able to read them. That success, however, poses a challenge to the teacher/evaluator. To measure a student's success in achieving the course's primary aim, the student has to be asked to translate or answer comprehension questions "at sight" on a connected passage of Latin. The Fabulae Ancillantes answer this need, providing passages that are in line with the Cambridge Latin Course, yet are new to the student.
