I've long been curious about The Capricorn Bracelet. Connected short stories is a particularly appealing structure. Thanks for the heads-up that readers need to brace themselves for a gut-wrenching ending. I like how Sutcliff has a bit of a thing for Legio Secunda Augusta, apparently (it's in A Circlet of Oak Leaves, too, and surely in other things I cannot recall, since they helped build both Hadrian's and Adrian's Wall and thus slot in neatly in the narrative.
