“Death of the Corn King: King and Goddess in Rosemary Sutcliff's His­torical Fiction for Young Adults” by Barbara L. Talcroft is a thought-provoking hardback book that explores the themes of kingship and goddess worship in the historical fiction works of renowned author Rosemary Sutcliff.

This insightful book delves into Sutcliff's young adult novels and analyzes how she portrays the intricate relationship between the king figure and the ancient goddess archetype.
