Keith@ 293: Ah, I remember reading about Quintus' brothers recently (probably googling Dr Who).
Wikipedia says the real Caecilius had two sons - Quintus and Sextus, and suggests the first four sons didn't survive to adulthood.
I don't remember a sister in the Cambridge books - I'm pretty sure our teacher made up one for our all female class. A sister was also invented for the Dr Who episode. And poor Sextus seems to have missed entirely on being fictionalised.

This land is your land, this land is my land
From Bluff in Southland, to the Bay of Islands,
From the Kauri forests, to the southern ranges,
This land was made for you and me.
This land is your land, this land is my land
From Manapouri to Cape Reinga,
From the southern Fiordlands to the thermal regions
This land was made for you and me.

I know it as a campfire song.
"I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills
I love the flowers, I love the daffodils
I love the campfire, when all the lights are low
Boom-de-ada, boom-de-ada, boom-de-ada, boom-de-ada x2"

I've only read about 64 of them, I'm definitely a barbarian.
Funnily enough I have read the very first book on the list, which is science fiction, though I didn't know that when I picked it up.
Ursula Le Guin is not on the list. Enough said.
