An oldie set in yet more olden days. My friend Allison basically said I hadn't lived until I read the book, so I was definitely going in with some high expectations. I really enjoyed the story, though I disliked some of the violence... I could picture it too well. I'm definitely impressed with Sutcliff's talent for description!
