I read this when I was at school. I enjoyed it. Read about it here. My library has a copy so I might revisit it. Do you remember it?

Yes, it's still a very good read (although obviously a book for children as it tones down the real horrors of the period) and I reread much of my copy not so long ago. She wrote very few books especially for adults but one of those was on the Civil War. It's The Rider of the White Horse, about Thomas Fairfax's Northern Campaigns mostly, and it is largely seen from the perspective of his wife who accompanied him. RS's pro-Parliamentary sympathies are very clear in both volumes!
ReplyDeleteI never read (nor heard) of that, but I did read For the King by Ronald Welch.
ReplyDeleteYes, For The King is not bad (and there are far too few novels about the ECW) - but Ronald Welch was far inferior as a writer; I say that with some sadness as I loved his books as a boy and still have most of them!
