Anthony Lawton has alerted me to his blog about classic historical novelist Rosemary Sutcliff (1920-1992), to whom so many of us owe our fascination with history. Please go there for all the latest links to Rosemary Sutcliff, her books - and of course the forthcoming film of her best-known novel, The Eagle of the Ninth.
Anthony, by the way, is Rosemary Sutcliff's godson and cousin.
