A story dedicated “to every little girl who has wished for an hour to be a little boy.” The child heroine figures in exciting adventures among Roundheads and Cavaliers during Cromwell’s time, masquerading for a time as a boy among the King’s soldiers.
“The story is excellent in atmosphere and has more incident and plot than the author’s previous works.”

“A most attractive tale for young people. Should it fall into the hands of the elders it will surely be read at a sitting.”
