About the Author
Rosemary Sutcliff (1920-1992) wrote dozens of books for young readers, including her award-winning Roman Britain trilogy, The Eagle of the Ninth, The Silver Branch, and The Lantern Bearers, which won the Carnegie Medal. The Eagle of the Ninth is now a major motion picture, The Eagle, directed by Kevin MacDonald and starring Channing Tatum. Born in Surrey, Sutcliff spent her childhood in Malta and on various other naval bases where her father was stationed. At a young age, she contracted Still’s Disease, which confined her to a wheelchair for most of her life. Shortly before her death, she was named Commander of the British Empire (CBE) one of Britain's most prestigious honors. She died in West Sussex, England, in 1992.
From Publishers Weekly
Sutcliff retains the original Celtic flavor in her stylish tale of this legendary couple. PW said, "The result is a beautifully woven story of heroic deeds, of the doomed love between the brave Tristan and Iseult, the princess of Ireland." Ages 10-up.

Beautiful vintage illustration to the front and rear wrap by Victor Ambrus as well as many further black and white illustrations in the text.

No ownership markings and the text is unmarked. This copy was published in association with the Bodley Head who published the book in 1971.
