The Year of the Horsetails
==Period and Setting==
The Year of the Horsetails is a historical novel, written by R.F. Tapsell and published in 1967, that is set on the Eurasian Steppe, probably in the area that now known as Eastern Europe. The time frame of the book is not specified, but is probably set between the birth of Attila the Hun in 406 AD, and the rise of the Mongol ruler Genghis Khan in 1162 AD. The story begins with the central character Bardiya, a Saka tribesman, escaping westward across the steppe on horseback from the brutal Tugar people. The fictional Tugars may have been modeled on the Pannonian Avars (580-804 AD), a Turkic people who were a nomadic confederation also ruled by a Khagan (emperor).〔Holmes, Morgan ("Year of the Horsetails" ), ''The Robert E.
