The Eagle of the Ninth words entered in Google search produces some 9 million results, and number two this moment (about 12.37 in the UK)  is from this blog! It will not last, I know not why, but I have been trying to use keywords to signal this site for enquirers about both The Eagle of the Ninth film and book, and for Rosemary Sutcliff. This entails some dreadful opening sentences on posts, but it seems to have worked, at least at this point. A simple aspiration perhaps, but I would like people interested enough to search for The Eagle of the Ninth to find material about the book and Rosemary Sutcliff as well as the film!
