Apparently so.  I imagine that such a fat (and on places, let's face it, slow) book must have needed a fair bit of pruning, but I wish I was close enough/could spare the time to go and see what they made of it!

Aw yeah, I am booking tickets now! I shall let you know what I think of it - thank you for bringing it up, I am so excited about this! So long as they do indeed trim it down mercilessly, because as much as I love Sutcliff, I don't fancy being there until sunrise.

Woohoo!
Surely it must have been mercilessly trimmed... I hope you will give us a full report!

One thing I love about this is that people are *still* reading Sutcliff and doing ridiculously uncommercial medieval history degrees that will lead to No Job as a result. I did that! Go James Beagon, I hope he *never* regrets it!

(I looked wistfully at my calendar to try to work out if I could make it up to Edinburgh for this, but tragically, I have a mountain of work and not enough money. Oh well. )
