The Sheep Who Lost Her Way is a Novella by Theodore Stavropoulos. The novella revolves around a sheep named Laelia who gets lost while exploring with her sister and her attempts to find her way home. The book was written as a Latin novella to assist Latin students in gaining reading proficiency with a simple, fun story and cute illustrations, but now he released the book in English to reach a new audience.
A Word from the Author:
I wrote Ovis Quae Cursum Amisit during the Summer of 2020, following my graduation from college. It was originally a short novella in Latin to help me practice my composition skills, but my wife suggested that I publish the book in English as well, so that brings us to the book in your hand now. I chose a sheep as the main character because it is my wife's favorite animal. I chose her name (in the Latin version), and the others, because we both liked them. I tried my best to keep the English (and also Spanish) names of the characters as similar to the original, Latin names as possible. For example, Lana, the older sister, is a name that means "wool" in Latin and Spanish.
