Children of the New Forest tells the story of the four Beverley children, who are orphaned during the English Civil War. To protect them from the Parliamentarians, their father's loyal forester, Jacob Armitage, hides them in the New Forest and raises them as his grandchildren.
Living a simple life in the forest, they learn to hunt, farm, and live off the land, unaware of their noble lineage. As they grow, they encounter various characters and face challenges that test their courage and resilience. The novel beautifully portrays their transformation from privileged children to resourceful young adults, deeply connected to nature and each other.
A captivating tale of survival, family, and identity, Children of the New Forest remains a beloved classic, offering readers a glimpse into a fascinating period of English history and the enduring power of the human spirit.
