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.
The Eagle film (movie), based upon Rosemary Sutcliff‘s novel The Eagle of the Ninth, was released on Wednesday (16th February) in The Phillipines, and today (18th February) in Romania. Maybe some people in those countries will stumble on this blog and post at the You Write tab about your views of Rosemary Sutcliff and how well the book is translated to the screen. The film opens in Indonesia on 23rd February and Thailand on 24th. (I have managed to find a Romanian film poster today, 20 February, but not yet any Romanian reviews)

Why don’t some Roman historians comment here on the accuracy of the film, and on whatever inaccuracies they find? Jacko
