Elizabeth the Gallant is probably EBD's best historical novel, and very difficult to find on the second-hand market.
Set during the English Civil War of the 17th Century, this is the full-length story of Elizabeth Felthwaite of which we are given a glimpse in Caroline the Second.
Elinor was well aware of her readers' interests; at the Chalet School 'the Juniors, needless to state, were Jacobite to the core' (Highland Twins) and she provides us with a fast paced adventure.
