Description

The Children of the New Forest is a children's novel printed in 1847 by Frederick Marryat.

It is place in the time of the English Civil War and the Commonwealth.

The story accompanies the fortunes of the four Beverley children (Edward, Humphrey, Alice and Edith) who are orphaned during the war, and hide from their Roundhead tyrants in the shelter of the New Forest where they grasp to live off the land.

These four children in the novel usually become ideal models of manhood and womanhood, and even the gypsy boy Pablo is trained into their civilising ways.

The peril they build to bait cattle catches more than they deal for, leading to one experience after another.

Against all chances they dextrously exercise through the traitorous landscape of the times, usually recovering their family estate.

Their deeds and efforts to live in the forest form the center of this novel.

This book is a celebration of genteel ness, courage and tolerance.
