"What's Your Name, Reb?"

   

Thus begins the Darrington Children's relationship with their uncle's American prisoner in the The Reb and the Redcoats by Constance Savey. Unlike most fiction about the Revolutionary War, this story is set in England and its main characters are British. I've always wondered what this time in history was like for British, and this book provides a wonderful window into such a life. Available to buy at Amazon and Thriftbooks.

4.) A compelling back-story.
