Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The Shining Company deserves a place with Adam of the Road , The White Stag and other classic adventure stories.”  —Publishers Weekly
“Shining Company was written for young adults but the narration by Johanna Ward will reach many an adult audience.”  —Reviewer’s Bookwatch
“The story will appeal to readers of historical fiction or fantasy, as the rich language and strong Welsh dialect give the story a mythic air.” —AudioFile
“Readers willing to surrender to Sutcliff's demanding yet hypnotic language will be drawn into a truly splendid adventure, containing powerful themes of heroism, friendship, loss, betrayal, and sacrifice.”  —School Library Journal

Author Bio: Rosemary Sutcliff

Author Bio: Rosemary Sutcliff

Rosemary Sutcliff (1920–1992) was born in Surrey, England. A voracious private reader, she left her regular studies at fourteen to attend art school. In 1950 her first children’s book was published, and from then on, she devoted her time and talents to writing children’s historical novels. Many of her books are set in Roman Britain, a period that particularly interested her. She received the OBE in 1975 and, in 1992, was awarded the CBE. She was still writing on the morning of her death at the age of seventy-two.
