I think there may be some gems lurking there. I was particularly interested to find the Latin & Greek resources. At first glance they appear to be scans of poorly typeset ancient OOP books. Hmmm. Not exactly a visual feast but I think there might be something useful there.

Have I mentioned that Amelia wants to learn Greek?

Greek. We haven't even tackled Latin. Unless you stretch the definition of tackling to include 'buying a resource and putting it on the shelf to gather dust'.

I am pleased to announce that in her desire to learn Greek, she was influenced by a book. Two, in fact. What great classics spoke to her? What stirred her to engage in a conversation with the ancients? Sorcery and Cecelia or the Enchanted Chocolate Pot: Being the Correspondence of Two Young Ladies of Quality Regarding Various Magical Scandals in London and The Grand Tour: Or the Purloined Coronation Regalia. Yup. Apparently one of the characters learned Greek & now Amelia wants to too.

We haven't really figured out if it's classical Greek we're talking about or the type that comes in handy when you go in Cohen's footsteps and stay on Hydra for extended periods of time to strum a guitar and think about Suzanne. Or the type that you use when you go to Alekos Taverna for the Friday night special, & you want to order that spinach thingy.
