Description
As no dustcover on the book, the following comments were taken from online.
One of the most successful books in British literature, this book is still in print 160
years after it was written.
Cavalier and Roundhead battle it out in the turbulent setting of the English Civil war and provide the background for this classic tale of four orphans as they face adversity, survival in the forest, reconciliation and eventual forgiveness. This is the first enduring historical novel for children, which conjures up as much magic today as it did on first publication. The freedom from adult constraint allied with the necessary disciplines to survive in a hostile world make for a gripping read.
Hardcover, 248 pages. In good pre-loved condition with the exception of yellowing to pages and a pen mark on the first page top corner.
