Shifting Sands
ഈ ഇ-ബുക്കിനെക്കുറിച്ച്
Blue Feather is twelve when Long Axe declares that he wants her as his third wife. Her father is unsure, but cannot argue with the chief - when Blue Feather turns 14, she will marry Long Axe. At first she is delighted, but in the years following she becomes closer with a young warrior, Singing Dog, and doubt begins to creep in.
As Long Axe's rule becomes more volatile, and the weather more threatening, will the village stay safe? Or do they need a new chief to help them through the storms?

Rosemary Sutcliff (1920-1992)
Rosemary Sutcliff is perhaps best known for her famous Eagle of the Ninth series of books, which has been adapted into a film, TV and radio series. Born in Surrey, her father was a Royal Navy officer and her mother educated her at home after Sutcliff was left severely physically disabled after she developed Stills disease (a form of juvenile arthritis). It was through her education that Sutcliff was introduced to Celtic and Saxon legends, Icelandic sagas, fairy tales and the works of Rudyard Kipling. She enrolled at Bideford Art School in 1934, graduating and becoming a painter before she started to write in 1946, retelling the stories her mother taught her. She wrote more than fifty books for children and adults, fiction and non-fiction, as well as numerous articles and screenplays throughout her career. She won the 1959 Carnegie Medal for Children's Fiction, and 1972 Horn Book Award and the Phoenix Award in both 1985 and posthumously in 2010. She received an OBE in 1992.
