I suppose that I am part of this revival. I read the first 3 "Eagle" books as a boy. I am now nearly 60 and I have read all the Roman Britain books recently.

I continue to be very moved. I there is something remarkably human about a Sutcliff hero.

I feel that we too are living in a time of endings and transition again - so many of the Roman/Britain books either point to this or are full of it.

I love how she brings the natural world into every part of her writing - the opening of Dawn Wind is especially elegiac.

I love the way she loves dogs and how the bond between man and dog is a constant in her work.

Finally I wonder how she found the soul of men as a woman - I can think of few writers who have so accurately been able to speak to the "warrior" than she.

I wish all who are bringing her back well
