The Aeneid (Penguin Classics)
A Little History of the World
The Annals of Imperial Rome
A wonderful book, easy to overlook the ludicrous plot developments (the parents not trying to get to their children at all, the landlord evicting them etc) and enjoy the fabulous evocation of a childhood without adults. But the most interesting this is that it is pretty subversive with the children supporting and helping each other while the majority of the adults behaving with pretty much total indifference to their welfare. Lovely.
