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.
Posted by Rosemary Sutcliff was on Desert Island Discs on the BBC with Roy Plomley in 1983, before she had written all her 50+ books. I am hoping that eventually the BBC will post the recording itself. Then you would hear her and her reasons for her choice of eight pieces of music to take to her desert island shipwreck.
