Sutcliff rocks. Some of her stuff rocks more than the rest. I'm fond of The Capricorn Bracelet, a series of linked stories, each set in a different generation, as the bracelet of the title gets passed down from father to son. There is almost certainly a game in there somewhere, maybe using IAWA, with the bracelet always getting the right to be in the story.
And the ending of the last story is so very good and so very Sutcliff. That is one woman who knew her way around the English language.
