The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
When the great storm wrecked a Roman trading vessel on the coast of Britain only a child was saved, to be brought up by a British tribe until, when bad times come, they cast him out. There followed a period of great hardship and peril for the boy; and in recording the stormy adventures of Beric, who was cast into slavery in Rome and later condemned to the rowing benches of a Roman galley, Rosemary Sutcliff has written a magnificent novel of Roman Britain that rings true from the first page.
