The Eagle of the Ninth : Centenary Edition

The Ninth Legion marched into the mists of northern Britain - and they were never seen again. Four thousand men disappeared and their eagle standard was lost. It's a mystery that's never been solved, until now... Marcus has to find out what happened to his father, who led the legion. So he sets out into the unknown, on a quest so dangerous that nobody expects him to return. The Eagle of the Ninth is heralded as one of the most outstanding children's books of the twentieth century and has sold over a million copies worldwide. Rosemary Sutcliff writes with such passion and attention to detail that Roman Britain is instantly brought to life and stays with the reader long after the last page has been turned.Author: Sutcliff, Rosemary,author Contributors: Sutcliff, Rosemary,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 304 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 5 Nov 2020 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Oxford University Press Author/Director/Artist: Rosemary Sutcliff Dimension (cm): 197x130x22 mm Package Dimension (cm): 33x196x129 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 240
