Christina Hardyment wrote: Three of the books .... are different from the rest. In them the children are actually shot at with real guns. They are pure romance, realistic fancy rather than fantastical reality. They are not set in the school holidays, but in a free time of their own; they are stories told round the fire in winter (CFT pp26-27 ).
