Kings, parliaments and generals stay in the background here: this story asks what the Civil War of the 1640s meant for plain people in cottages and farmhouses. A family left to fend for themselves see soldiers of both sides plunder their crops and church, endure hard winters and a terrible harvest day, and try to stay loyal and honest through it all.
A thoughtful family story by the author of The Heir of Redclyffe, good for young readers of history. Download the free EPUB.
