I did 14 years of Latin and it was not till the last of these (at
Melbourne Uni as it happened) that I heard people actually speak
it fluently (or so I thought): the Classics professors...

I remember Septimus, (a sort of "Famous 1" reader for English school children; boy
goes to the underworld and has all sorts of adventures meeting
Greek and Roman things like tricky rivers and multi-headed
animals... all in Latin)
