Set books

I produce running vocabularies for set texts. They are sold at a fixed price and you can print copies as required. The A Levels (and some IB) cost £38 and GCSEs £28. I have a huge back-list of nearly all the set-texts for the last twenty years, and a few more. I hope that this will be published on my site soon. Some students may want to read beyond the syllabus. If there is something you are looking for, do ask.

May 2025

As at 25.4.2025 I have finished what I plan to do. Juvenal Group 4 not recommended 2027-28 I have finished Nepos: Hannibal (I am not sure this is suitable for A Level, rather weak), Cicero Pro Sexto Roscio Group 1, Aeneid IV Group 3, Tibullus Group 3 (I have done this but no one else should - difficult, obscure, a crazy choice), Aeneid IV Group 4, Herodotus 7 Group 1, Crito Group 1, Electra Group 3, Odyssey 16 Group 3. I am working on Odyssey 22 at the moment.
