About This Item
Andre Deutsch, 1975. 94p. ills. Hard bound with pictorial dust wrps. Wrps slightly yellowed. 'I'm very fond of the English language,'Ogden Nash (1902-1971) said. he loved Latin too, and rummaged through it reularly for his verses with a terrific irreverence for the rules of grammar and a wry sense of humour. Latin teacher J.C. Gleeson and one of his high school students, B.N. Meyer, have dressed Nash's verses in the language of Catullus and Juvenal, but keeping Nash's distinctive character. Fifty-two poems are combined with Ken Maryanski's witty drawings to make 'Ave Ogden!' a Roman holiday for every fan of Ogden Nash. (Publisher's information).

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
