ROSEMARY SUTCLIFF (1920-92) 
Although I admire the edgy covers of reissued works like “Shield Ring”, “Mark of the Horse Lord” and “Frontier Wolf”, bound to appeal to modern teenagers, it is a shame to lose all those wonderful illustrations which accompanied the original editions. Perhaps the feeling is that they give the books a childish appearance.
The Folio Society has gone against the trend by recently publishing editions of “The Eagle of the Ninth” and “The Silver Branch”, complete with fabulous illustrations by Roman Pisarev – some examples here:

C Walter Hodges also illustrated two of Sutcliff’s books for younger readers; The Armourer’s House (1951) and Brother Dusty-Feet (1952). I have in front of me his frontispiece picture of the armourer’s actual house, an amazingly intricate piece of work, which unfortunately I probably can’t reproduce for copyright reasons..

Oops. You are correct of course. Thank you. I have altered the listing under Sutcliff Titles. I am for the moment leaving this post as it was so future readers can make sense of these comments.

Not a major illustrator of Rosemary Sutcliff titles, but an engaging one was Michael Charlton, who died in 2008. He illustrated Sutcliff’s “High Deeds of Finn Mac Cool”, and there is an interesting post about him which includes some of his “Finn Mac Cool” illustrations here at Rob Davis’ “Dinlos and Skilldos” blogsite:
