The Forest, Paperback / softback Book

The Forest Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

A remarkable and ambitious novel whose central character is not a man or a woman, but the ancient New Forest of England. Few places lie closer to the heart of the nation's heritage than the New Forest.

Now Edward Rutherfurd weaves its history and legends into compelling fiction, from the mysterious killing of King William Rufus to treachery and witchcraft, smuggling and poaching: this is an epic tale of well-born ladies, lowly woodsmen, sailors, merchants and Cistercian monks.

The feuds, wars, loyalties and passions of generations reach their climax in a crime that shatters the decorous society of Jane Austen's Bath, and whose ramifications continue through the age of the Victorian railway builders to the ecologists of the present day.
