Marlborough at War With the King is a work of historical fiction. It is told through the eyes of two young people and deals with the fortnight in 1642 which led up to the attack on the Town of Marlborough by the Royalist forces, the fighting itself, and the sad aftermath.
It is a book for the whole family. It is designed to appeal to young readers from 8 years upward but contains such a wealth of historic detail that it will also be of interest to adults.
