One of the best books I can recommend is _The Romance Languages_ by
W.D. Elcock. It gave me a great introduction for Brithenig when I was
ignorant of the mechanics of Romance grammar, although I had to read it
very carefully in some passages to get the gist of it. But no other book
I have read is so thorough or so universal. It was originally produced as
part of a language series by Faber & Faber in 1960. Another author has
since revised it but my local library has Elcock's edition which I refer
to religiously.
