Latin textbooks

[verypuzzled]

I am trying to find information on a latin textbook that I used in the early 1970s. All I can remember about it was that it was a fairly small hardback book and the first page had amo, amas, amat, amamus, amatis, amant and that each chapter had a story about the roman gods and goddesses.

Can anyone suggest possible titles?

Thanks

No I don't think so from what I've read about it but thanks for your answer

They all started with declensions of Amo etc., so I don't know what else to suggest!

Your description probably describes just about every Latin textbook ever published! One which was popular in schools (well, with the teachers anyway!) around that time was 'Latin Course for Schools', written by L A Wilding (who, incidentally, was my form teacher in my first year at grammar school):

Approach to Latin? This dates back to earlier than the 70s, but there was a newer version too. The original had a royal blue cover.

Still got my Approach to Latin. Late 50s. If you want to introduce your children to Latin I would suggest Minimus. Even teenagers are amused by it. Works well from 6 or 7 upwards. Expensive to buy but in many good libraries so it can be tried out. Teacher's book also.
