Tristan and Iseult

Author: Sutcliff, Rosemary

This is a retelling of an ancient Celtic story, that later became incorporated into Arthurian legends. The foreword puts it nicely into historical context. It’s an excellent story, full of excitement, adventure, friendship, love and heroic deeds. Being older than the Arthurian stories, the characters seem freer and more human without such a strict code of chivalry. Tristan is a top notch hero, prevailing over a number of dangerous enemies. True and brave, he makes deep friendships with people who would happily die for each other, as well as for the cause of honour or their country. The heart of the book, though, is the tragic, doomed love between the characters of the title.

Hound of Ulster

Author: Sutcliff, Rosemary

This saga of the Irish Celts is re-told by Rosemary Sutcliff with a magical weaving together of passion and poetry. The boy who takes up the spear and shield of Manhood on this day will become the most renowned of all the warriors of Ireland, men will follow at his call to the world’s end, and his enemies will shudder at the thunder of his chariot wheels. So the prophecy went, and as the boy Cuchulain heard it, he went forward to claim the weapons of his manhood. This is the story of how he became the greatest of heroes—the Hound of Ulster.
