This item-the Aquila family Dolphin Ring-features in many of Rosemary Sutcliff‘s Roman Britain books. Turner goes on to list The Eagle of the Ninth, Warrior Scarlet, The Shield Ring and Knight’s Fee on her list of favourite ‘old ‘books. If you read it you will find an object there whose description I have copied as closely as I can for The Thief.” “If a writer has inspired me, I like to make a reference to their work inside my story … The Thief has an indirect quote from The Eagle of the Ninth. If Sutcliff‘s name keeps appearing, it is because she one of the authors who have influenced me the most.” “…writes historical fiction the way Rosemary Sutcliff used to. She writes about this in the afterword of her first novel, The Thief: Back in her own century she learns the end of their story in a surprising and satisfying turn of events.Responding to the recently posted new ‘interview with Rosemary Sutcliff’, Helen writes:ġ997 Newbery Honor Book children’s author Megan Whalen Turner (author of the historical fantasy series The Queen’s Thief) was a Rosemary Sutcliff fan. While Rosemary wants to get back to her own time, she laments about not knowing what happens to the Cakebreads. They encounter the widow's son Tom, who has been gone for 12 years, and the Sokokis who know about the dreaming trees between two worlds. The three kids end up in York Gaol with Goody Cakebread, and escape with the help of a bottle of apple cordial from the widow's magic cupboard. Rosemary meets Baba and Wim from her century and the widow, Goody Cakebread, who is about to be taken up, allegedly on charges of witchcraft, but really because of the rich timberlands that the greedy Parson Grout wants to own. Once past the wych elms, it is the autumn of 1722. Stand in the center of the patch of Time at three o'clock on Midsummer Eve and the Way opens between the elms called the "Dreaming Trees".
Parsley Sage is also a cat, Rosemary a prim and solemn ten-year-old. Parsley, sage, rosemary, and time are stone markers in an overgrown herb garden in Wychwood.
