Hey folks!
Can someone suggest an order to her early British history books (not the Arthurian books)? I have a few, and I am planning to pick up a few more audio versions for long rides, but they seem to jump around in time. Are there any which go together chronologically?

Are you thinking about Eagle of the Ninth, The Silver Branch, and The Lantern Bearers? I think they go in that order and are absolutely wonderful reads.
HTH.

Also Outcast and Eagle's Egg. Oh and Frontier Wolf and the Shield Ring which I don't have.
I don't know about chronological order here, sorry.

I looked under the "Author Index" in Let the Authors Speak by Caroline Hatcher and whatdya know?? There're quite a few Sutcliff books. Here you go:
Nancy already listed the order of the trilogy, these are 2, 3 and 5th cent. respectively.
Dawn Wind, 6 (century)Roman Empire Brit. Young boy gives life to save friend
Blood Feud, 10 Europe, England, Byz. empire, slave to Viking
Light Beyond the Forest, 6 Eur. Eng. Quest for Holy Grail
The Sword and the Circle, 6 Eur. Eng. beginnings of King Arthur
Song for a Dark Queen, 1 Roman empire, Brit. Iceni revolt against Romans, 60 A.D.
Beowulf, 6 Eur. Scandanvia
The Shield Ring, 11 Eur. Eng. Norsemen against Norman invaders
Warrior Scarlet, BC Brit. Bronze Age
Those are the only ones in the book. I have Sword at Sunset which looks to be the sequel to Sword and the Circle.
Wow. Rosemary was a prolific writer. I haven't read one single book by her yet. Anyone know if she was Catholic? If so, she would qualify for my book club

No, she wasn't. I read her autobiography a while ago, and I don't remember anything about religion (doesn't mean it wasn't there, but if it was it didn't stick in my mind and it would have done if she had been Catholic!).

Thank you all! There are so many more books than I thought. I have much reading to do . I have read quite a few of her books, but I have been tickled into learning more about Ancient Briton after reading Sun Horse, Moon Horse. Good stuff!
Thanks again!
