Autumn Term
''Autumn Term'' is the first in the series of novels about the Marlow family by Antonia Forest, first published in 1948, and set in that post-war period. The plot focuses on the two youngest Marlows, identical twins Nicola and Lawrence, during their first term at Kingscote. The next book in the series is ''The Marlows and the Traitor''. ==Plot introduction== Antonia Forest set out to write adult fiction, but thought that perhaps a children's book would be an easier way to get published initially.〔Heazlewood, Anne "The Marlows and Their Maker" Girls Gone By, 2007, p.80 ISBN 9781904417903〕 Since there was a trend for school fiction, she chose this genre. However, like all of Forest's books, ''Autumn Term'' is quite different from most of this school literature. Her 'heroines', Nicola, Tim and Lawrie are often unsuccessful, sometimes unlikeable and always realistic. Even Forest's anti-heroine, Lois Sanger, is shown to have some redeeming characteristics.
