  1. A fine collection - which one will you reread for her centenary next month? Thanks for promoting the Sutcliff centenary and the comment my blog post. Well rescued.

  2. Long time fan! To my great annoyance, while I have audiobooks for Eagle of the 9th and Silver Branch, I can't buy Lantern Bearers or Sword at Sunset even though they are for sale in the us and Britain!! I have to read them the old fashioned way. I rather like having Johanna Ward reading them to me!

  4. I have all her books including her autobiography. I love them as much now as when I first read them as a teenager many years ago. I started with her Roman novels, but in later life I discovered that Rosemary also wrote novels set in the medieval and ECW periods, and even one set in Napoleonic Egypt. Fantastic, all of them!

    1. I am intrigued by the Napoleonic one. I must give her autobiography a go. I hope the Centenary brings her before a new audience and generation.

    2. The Napoleonic novel is called Blood and Sand and is about a Private in the 78th Highlanders who gets captured by the Turks and ends up commanding Egyptian forces against various Arab incursions.
