The Pied Pipers interview (1973)

[hedgebird]

Sutcliff was interviewed by Emma Fisher in 1973 for a book entitled The Pied Pipers: Interviews with the Influential Creators of Children's Literature (edited by Fisher and Justin Wintle, 1974), which you can read here on Internet Archive. The interview contains quite a few interesting remarks, on her own books, on other people's books, and on her beliefs about the world in general.

There are spoilers for The Mark of the Horse Lord and Mary Renault's The Last of the Wine.
