I first read it when I was about 15 and I'm now in my fifties- but I still discover something new in it every time I read it.It's quite simply one of the most beautiful books ever written. I will never tire of it and hope to read it again and again ! I’ve just re read Sword at Sunset for about the 10th time and each time I read it I love it more.

It involved a poem with a code which involved the first letter of the line. Does anyone know the book? I can remember as a child being read a book at school which I am sure was Rosemary Sutcliff.

I am (of course) going to locate another HC copy somewhere as my library is not complete without the book.

We both had the same annoyance with people that spelt our name wrong. Is there any one out there that can direct me to some images of her art work as I now paint myself and am told I paint like she did. Must be in the genes!

As a child I had the original book(yes, I am an old codger) All I can say is I hope they dont make a hash of it as they did with "Five children and It" (I had that book too) any super special effects will ruin Eagle it should be as exact as possible to Rosemary Sutcliffe's book The story as told cant be bettered.

What a fantastic tale and what a brilliant writer.

]]> Comment on Reader’s Reviews by Helen Sherman http://rosemarysutcliff.wordpress.com/reviews/#comment-35 Helen Sherman Mon, 24 Mar 2008 21:31:01 +0000 #comment-35 Anthony: We had some correspondence a long time ago, shortly after Rosemary's death. My mother was her friend and correspondent for many years, since meeting her father in New York during WWII. I visited her on a couple of occasions while I lived in London in the 1970s. I have the miniature that she painted for my mother, which I treasure. Are any of her paintings on view anywhere? I remember her showing me a drawer where her paintings were and that there was one of a centaur which stays in my mind. I also have the broach which she sent my mother as a wedding present. It is mother-of-pearl with a worm encapsulated in it, and it is phallic in appearance which made my mother laugh. She always wondered whether this was something Rosemary did intentionally or not. Now I see she had a 'rude' sense of humor, so perhaps she was being naughty! Nice to find your site and great information about a wonderful author. I still go back to her books for a "comfort read" and her vivid descriptions are so evocative and telling of her artistic talent. Helen Anthony:
