An excellent novel about it is "The Fourth Gift" by Elizabeth Borton de Trevino.

A novel about the Vendee:
I have a novel about it called "No Surrender", G.A. Henty, Scribners, 1899. From the other titles listed in the back of the book, Henty seems to have written a lot of inspirational (heroic-type, more than spiritual-) books for boys. I should really track them down for my nephews.
