A modern retelling of the stories of King Arthur, tales of magic, knights, human sacrifice, dragons, sword fights to the death, noble quests, tragedy and great courage: this is the real world of King Arthur.

Initially an art-school trained painter of miniatures, Rosemary Sutcliff’s first children s book was published in 1950, and from then on she devoted her time and talents to the writing of children s books and history novels, which have placed her name high in the field of contemporary children s literature and historical fiction. The UK Guardian newspaper called her a “writer of genius” in their obituary. Rosemary received an OBE in the 1975 Birthday Honours List, and a CBE in 1990.

Rosemary Sutcliff s novels won much critical acclaim in her lifetime and since. The best-known of her Roman novels is The Eagle of the Ninth, and the related trilogy of which the second, The Lantern Bearers, was awarded the 1959 Carnegie Medal. Her re-telling of the legend of Tristan and Iseult was highly highly recommended for the same award in 1972, once the award was opened up for re-awarding to the same author.

Rosemary Sutcliff was born in Surrey, the daughter of a naval officer. Later in her life she lived in Devon and then Sussex. At the age of two she contracted the progressively wasting Still s disease, and hence spent most of her life in a wheelchair. Sadly, Rosemary died in 1992 at the age of 72.
