5.0 out of 5 stars Hoping for a reprint, Feb 8 2004

This review is from: Dawn Wind (Paperback)
Rosemary Sutcliff creates such a beloved character in Owain. His endurance and love for others when he could have been bitter make him my favorite Sutcliff hero. I sincerely hope this book will be reprinted soon along with the rest of her out of print work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dawn Wind, Jan 19 2000
By Geoffrey Ings - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dawn Wind (Paperback)
This is one of the best books Rosemary Sutcliff wrote. It is a crime that it is out of print. It belongs with the "Eagle of the Ninth", "The Silver Branch", and "The Lantern Bearers" as the continuation of the tale of the Roman family of the silver ring with the flawed emerald (which I believe also turns up in "Knight's Fee"). It is a wonderful tale of faith, loyalty and a beautiful love story to boot. All is told as you grow up with Owain from the last stand of the Roman remnants in Britain where the story opens on a deserted moonlit battlefield, through his voluntary enslavement, and eventual freedom on another battlefield. If you can find it - read it and give it to your young adults. Other great books by this author are "Knight's Fee" and "Warrior Scarlet".

5.0 out of 5 stars Attn Farrar Straus & Giroux: Please reprint this book!, Jun 2 2005
By R. Rowan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dawn Wind (Paperback)
Rosemary Sutcliff wrote primarily for a young adult audience, but many folks well past their teens love her stories of the making of Britain. I echo previous reviewers: Dawn Wind deserves reprinting. The characters and plot are memorable; once you read it, you will not forget Owain. The book's themes of loyalty and unselfishness are timeless.

Sutcliff transferred her love of British history directly into her writing. Through her books, readers learn about the Roman Legions' stay, and how the Angles, Saxons, Picts, and Normans fought over and eventually settled Britain. In Dawn Wind she uses some of my favorite "Sutcliff words": garth, kist, bothie, gleeds, kirtle.

To publishers: Less than half of Rosemary Sutcliff's books are readily available. Gems like Dawn Wind, Knight's Fee, The Shield Ring, Frontier Wolf, The Mark of the Horse Lord, and Sword at Sunset (King Arthur for adults) deserve to be in print. Check other reviews. Many readers love this author and would welcome new editions of her out-of-print titles.
