Actors accents for The Eagle of the Ninth film
An American accent speaks volumes about these Romans at the far edge of empire was the headline of a Times article about the film of The Eagle of the Ninth this week which explores the modern parallels.

Birdbrain(ed) Blog Writer Loves Sutcliff
Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog was writing about Rosemary’s books in America last September …
I went a little nuts this week. About halfway through The Lantern Bearers I realized I love a) historical fiction set in or near the Roman era and b) Rosemary Sutcliff’s books. LOVE. So I went and checked out all the Sutcliff books we have (and that I haven’t read, of course). Ha? I think I’m going to start with The Silver Branch, since it’s supposed to come between The Eagle of the Ninth and The Lantern Bearers, which I’ve already read. The others I found near the YA section, and they look like interesting, out-of-print books that are hopefully good reads.
