Product Description

Synopsis
This is an autobiographical account of the influences and people who have helped Rosemary Sutcliff in her personal development as a writer. The author is a well-established historical and children's novelist who has been awarded several prizes and in 1975 was honoured with an OBE for services to children's literature. Sutcliff recounts her early years when, as a victim of Still's Disease, a rare form of juvenile arthritis, she was unable to walk. After the war and a love affair which left a lasting impression on her life, she started to write. This book ends when her first manuscript was accepted by Oxford University Press.

5.0 out of 5 stars An illuminating biography of a much-loved author, 25 May 2007
By Alexa (Midlothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
For those who, like me, grew up reading Rosemary Sutcliff's wonderful stories, this book provides an essential insight into an author whose notes on the dust-jacket were always tantalisingly brief.

In a 'no nonsense', unselpitying tone, we learn of Rosemary Sutcliff's childhood illness, years spent in hospital, and unusual adult circumstances. While not an overt investigation into the creative process, it is not difficult to see how Sutcliff's own determination to overcome adversity inspires the damaged, persistent heroes of her novels.
