The classic Latin easy reader. The series of exciting tales gradually introduce an increasingly varied vocabulary and structure, which gently leads the reader from the very simple up to the level where they can feel confident about tackling Caesar or Nepos. Its pedagogical excellencies are well summed up in a letter addressed to Mr. Ritchie by the Very Rev. E.C. Wickham, formerly Head Master of Wellington College, the well known editor of Horace: "It launches the student at once in ancient life. The old classical stories, simply told, seem to me much the best material for early Latin reading. They are abundantly interesting; they are taken for granted in the real literature of the language; and they can be told without starting the beginner on a wrong track by a barbarous mixture of ancient and modern ideas. "It combines, if I may say so, very skillfully, the interest of a continuous story, with the gradual and progressive introduction of constructions and idioms. These seem to me to be introduced at the right moment, and to be played upon long enough to make them thoroughly familiar." For an intermediary reader outside the classical tradition try this version of Journey to the Center of the Earth, ISBN-10: 1981136444, even more contemporary, a 1930's thriller, ISBN-10: 1542955688… (més)
Really just very good. Each story (usually one paragraph or two) continues the development of a learner who has completed a first-year course in Latin (I recommend the Cambridge, but Wheelock's is also great if you have a solid teacher). The notes are extensive and helpful, as they drill you in the actual grammatical information rather than just presenting simple translation. I feel like this was a really great transitional aspect for learning Latin. The next step would be to read some of the more complicated "guided" texts, e.g. "Reading Ovid" or perhaps some of the Cambridge handbooks. Ritchie's helps you get a sense of how Roman authors wrote, but its main focus is on drilling the various points of Latin grammar. Those other texts will take you to the next level on your journey.

"This Latin text was first published by Ritchie in 1884 in a volume called Fabulae Faciles: A First Latin Reader. In 1903, John Kirtland published a revised edition entitled Ritchie’s Fabulae Faciles: A First Latin Reader. Kirtland modified Ritchie’s Latin text, added grammatical notes, and eliminated a section of drill exercises found in the beginning the original volume. Kirtland’s book remained the standard edition until 1991, when another revised volume was prepared by Gilbert Lawall, Stanley Iverson, and Allan Wooley, entitled Fabulae Graecae: A Revised Edition of Ritchie’s Fabulae Faciles." (From Ritchie’s Fabulae Faciles, edited by Geoffrey Steadman, 2012.)
