Notes
While traveling with Jessica around Boston, July 2010, I stopped in Kennebunkport, ME when I saw a sign for a public library surplus sale. (How could I resist?) This book was found there, with a few others. Great price - great treasure. This was the first time I had ever heard of Rosemary Sutcliffe, and read the book in the evenings for the rest of the time I was on vacation. LOVE this author.
