The Eagle of the Ninth : news round-up

A film adaptation of Rosemary Sutcliff’s The Eagle of the Ninth is just hitting the cinema and I’ve noticed a few newsworthy items about the story. The BBC have a look at what could have happened to the lost ninth legion here; the original Eagle which inspired Sutcliff lives in Reading (seriously, nothing surprises me anymore) and curiously enough more women then men “follow” Rosemary Sutcliff on Facebook.
