In September 1651, after the Royalist defeat at Worcester, the Woodley family at Forest Lea House live in faded comfort under the eye of the Roundheads. When a fugitive must be hidden and fed, the household finds that a pigeon pie, secrecy and courage can save a life, if only a careless tongue does not betray it.

A short, vivid Civil War tale for young readers from the author of The Heir of Redclyffe. Download the free EPUB.
