Summary
The imaginative talents of Caroline Lawrence (author of the Roman Mysteries series) and Laura Jenkinson Brown (illustrator of Greek Myth comics) combined with the expertise of Dr Sophie Hay, Prof. Andrew Wallace-Hadrill and Dr Olivia Elder, with just a dash of the CSCP magic that made the Cambridge Latin Course so well-loved, bring the ancient town of Pompeii to life in a truly unique way.
Enjoy the wonderful narration of Tim Waghorn as you follow the story of Amarantus and his neighborhood as they experience a year of puppies, friendships, weddings, funerals, bar fights, elections and earthquakes, and find out:
• why honey is a ‘hot food’
• why the best seat in the house was on the ‘lowest’ couch
• how the Romans cleaned their ears
• and why the late drinkers supported Vatia in the local elections.

Amarantus brought to life!
The story was so engaging, bringing insight to the life of Amarantus and his friends living in ancient Pompeii. The story was narrated so well by Tim Waghorn that we couldn't stop listening to see what was going to happen next!

Interesting story and engaging narration
The detail of the archaeological research that went into telling this story is astounding, and the author’s intention to make the reader feel so alike to these characters before suddenly reminding us how different their beliefs and lives were is well achieved. I would love to hear more from the audiobook narrator Tim Waghorn, whose confident and technical Latin pronunciation alongside his delightful characterisation made the story come alive. Five stars!

Absorbing story for the whole family
We loved this book. The narrator brought ancient Pompeii to life in a very entertaining yet educational way.
