This volume, originally published in 1978, offers some 800-850 lines of
the 'Anabasis' in Greek with English summaries of the intervening
passages to give an idea of the whole of Xenophon's exciting adventure.
Notes at the foot of each page assist with content and language; they
assume only basic grammatical knowledge. The edition includes a consolidated
vocabulary.

The book was specifically designed to offer a number
of reasonably self-contained prescriptions for GCSE to replace
the old 'blue Macmillan' editions of individual books.
