Up to the usual Rosemary Sutcliff standard. She really was a master of early Saxon and Roman history. Although this book is aimed at the children market this is equally enjoyable for adults. Thoroughly recommended.

Another Sutcliff winner!
This one is among her best work. A very fine "ending" to the sequence following the Aquila family.
