Legions of the Eagle The story of a boy who lived at the time of the first real Roman invasion of Britain.
Man With a Sword The story of Hereward, called Hereward the Wake after his death, in which the author has blended fact and fiction, as he does so well. Hereward was an Anglo-Saxon king of the 11th century who lived and died by his sword.
The Children’s Crusade The story follows the adventures of Geoffrey and Alys de Villacours, who in 1212 set out on a great crusade of children, bent on making their way to the Holy Land to free Jerusalem. The marching clolumn of children got as far as Marseilles on their own, but were then tricked onto the ships of unscupulous traders who sold them into slavery. Geoffrey and Alys were separated on that voyage, but both became the slaves of the Governor of Egypt. The Children’s Crusade really happened, and this is a wonderful introduction to the history of the period.

The Golden Strangers Set in the grey, twilight world of the Stone Age, when the line between magic and reality was less easily drawn – and more easily crossed – than it is today, this novel tells of the ‘Barley Dream’, that web of ritual and human sacrifice without which the corn could not be made to grow.
The Queen’s Brooch The first time Marcus met Queen Boudicca he thought she was going to ride him down on her black horse. Then she stopped and stared at him silently. ‘This is not your road, but it is mine,’ she said. ‘I am the Queen here.’ Then she gave him a brooch as her token. Years later Marcus met the Queen again, but times were different now, and a harsh and bloody battle lay in store.
