STILL (Dec 28) Apologies to all. Over Xmas my blog account was hacked, and a good number of pornographic posts put up, and alerted to on Twitter. I have only just realised.

I do apologise to many readers and followers, some of whom have contacted me. Your enthusiasm here is for Rosemary Sutcliff, not porn. But this account was hacked, and a very inappropriate post or ten put up while I was not looking over the last three days of the Christmas Holiday. I do hope I have now put a stop to it. I am sorry I had not caight this sooner.

If you still see such posts above this one, I have obviously failed to stop them and will keep trying.

Season’s Greetings

The The Oxford Encyclopedia of Children’s Literature from 2006 has a long entry on Rosemary Sutcliff. It suggests that The Mark of the Horse Lord (published in 1966) is her finest historical fiction in the eyes of many people.
