Reviews

  • 'The gagmeisters of today would do well to learn from the ancients... a work of scholarship as much as a tickler of the funny bone
  • a sassy but accurate translation', The Daily Telegraph
  • 'I like a fart joke as much as the next man... and it's reassuring that the Romans, who gave us the word puerile, were equally enthusiastic', The Times
