Overview

This volume, originally published in 1978, offers some 800-850 lines of the 'Anabasis' in Greek with English summaries of the intervening passages to give an idea of the whole of Xenophon's exciting adventure.
Notes at the foot of each page assist with content and language; they assume only basic grammatical knowledge. The edition includes a consolidated vocabulary.

The book was specifically designed to offer a number of reasonably self-contained prescriptions for GCSE to replace the old 'blue Macmillan' editions of individual books.
