Green Eggs and Ham: In Latin
Tr. by Jennifer Moorish Tunberg and Terence Tunberg
Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, $22.50

This classic dish made classical will convince the most ardent modern to read an old and moldy language with fresh eyes. Its verses are cooked up in trochaic measure with a list of instructions extensive enough for the novice to translate the madness back into English. Even if one doesn't like green eggs and Latin, anyone who tries a bite will be beaten down by the waiter's antics and declare, "Dapem posthac non arcebo" (I will not keep this feast at a distance after this).
