Rosemary Sutcliff First Edition Sword at Sunset

Sword at Sunset

Rosemary Sutcliff — 1963 Coward-McCann, New York
First American edition, hardback with the original dust jacket intact.

A powerful and richly told reimagining of the King Arthur legend. In Sword at Sunset, Rosemary Sutcliff strips away the fantasy to deliver a historical, human portrait of Arthur (“Artos”), a Romanized British war leader. The novel follows his rise, his brotherhood of loyal cavalry, and his struggles with betrayal, fate, and honour in a turbulent post-Roman Britain. It’s widely considered one of Sutcliff’s most accomplished works for adults.
