REENACTORS NOTES (16th Century): Warning, this book is set during the Thrity Years War 175 pages: What is a girl to do when all the boys go off to war? Why join them of course! Courage learns early on that there is always another Officer, or another dupe around every corner. Her youth, charms and good looks take her far - but her schemes take her even further! Fortunes turn from good to bad and back again throughout this book. While Courage is mostly like a composite of many 'whores' that followed the armies, the information on her life is an insightful read on that *could* happen when a girl put her mind to something...

A companion volume to Simplicissimus: the story of younggirl named Courage, caught up in the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War,who survives, even prospers, by the use of her native cunning andsexual attraction. Completely amoral, she flits through a successionof husbands and lovers and ends her life with a band of Gypsies. Theconceit here is that Courage supposedly tells her story to get back atSimplicissimus, who treats her dismissively in his own memoirs. Thisis a remorseless tale of lechery, knavery and trickery.
