Simon by Rosemary Sutcliff - a new-to-me and absorbing historical novel

Title: Simon 
Author: Rosemary Sutcliff (1920-92)
Illustrator: Richard Kennedy 
Publication: Oxford University Press, hardcover, 1959 (originally published 1953) 
Genre: Juvenile Historical Fiction
Description: It had never seemed of much importance during their boyhood that Simon Carey was for Parliament and his friend Amias Hannaford a Royalist. But when the Civil War between the parties broke out, and two years later they were old enough to take part in it, they found themselves on different sides.
