For award-winning, internationally-acclaimed author Rosemary Sutcliff (1920-92). By Anthony Lawton: godson, cousin & literary executor. Rosemary Sutcliff wrote historical fiction, children's literature and books, films, TV & radio, including The Eagle of the Ninth, Sword at Sunset, Song for a Dark Queen, The Mark of the Horse Lord, The Silver Branch, The Lantern Bearers, Dawn Wind, Blue Remembered Hills.
A recent tweet from an archaeologist about The Eagle film refers to it being like a Western. ‘Interesting’, because this was partly what was in the Director’s mind (see here). It seems for this film-watcher Kevin Macdonald succeeded in his intention! And Rosemary Sutcliff herself loved Westerns.
