The Children of the New Forest is a classic children's novel written by Captain Frederick Marryat. The book is set in England during the mid-17th century, during the English Civil War. The story follows the lives of four children - Edward, Humphrey, Alice, and Edith - who are orphaned when their father, a Royalist soldier, is killed in battle. They are forced to flee their home and take refuge in the New Forest, where they live in hiding and are taken in by a local forester named Jacob Armitage.The children must learn to survive in the forest, and they soon become skilled at hunting, fishing, and trapping. They also befriend a group of gypsies, who teach them valuable skills and help them to evade capture by the Roundheads, the soldiers of the Parliamentarian army. As the war rages on, the children must navigate dangerous situations and make difficult decisions in order to protect themselves and their friends.Throughout the book, Marryat weaves in themes of loyalty, courage, and resilience. The children face numerous challenges, from the loss of their home and family to the threat of capture and imprisonment, but they remain steadfast in their determination to survive and thrive in the face of adversity.The Children of the New Forest is a beloved classic that has been enjoyed by generations of readers. It is a timeless tale of adventure and survival, and a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.Simply, young man, because the New Forest is, by the Parliament, committed to my charge. Notice has been given for all those who were employed to come here, that they might be permitted to remain, or he discharged, as I may deem most advisable.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
