Critics Review
Told in magnificent, rolling prose
Told in magnificent, rolling prose * The Times *
Sutcliff [is] a wonderful writer of historical novels * Birmingham Post *
The late Sutcliffe’s take on the legend will appeal to both children and adults … This is great swashbuckling stuff, full of adventure and romance but with a darker edge than one would expect * South Wales Argus *
