Blue Remembered Hills by Rosemary Sutcliff

This is an autobiographical account of the influences and people who have helped Rosemary Sutcliff in her personal development as a writer. The author is a well-established historical and children's novelist who has been awarded several prizes and in 1975 was honoured with an OBE for services to children's literature. Sutcliff recounts her early years when, as a victim of Still's Disease, a rare form of juvenile arthritis, she was unable to walk. After the war and a love affair which left a lasting impression on her life, she started to write. This book ends when her first manuscript was accepted by Oxford University Press.

Rosemary Sutcliff was born in 1920 in West Clanden, Surrey. With over 40 books to her credit, she is nowuniversally considered one of the finest writers of historical novels for children.
