The Children of the New Forest<\/strong><\/h3>\n

by Frederick Marryat<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Look inside…<\/a><\/p>\n

Description:  <\/span>An engaging adventure story set in England during the time of the Civil War when King Charles was deposed and the Roundheads were vying with the Cavaliers. The central characters are the four children of staunch Royalist Colonel Beverley killed in battle while fighting for King Charles. Through the efforts of aged forester Jacob Armitage, the children escape the burning of their ancestral home and take up residence with him in his cottage in the New Forest. As his ‘grandchildren’ they take eagerly to the peasant life and learn to provide for themselves by using their wits. The pitfall they build to trap cattle catches more than they bargain for, leading to one adventure after another. Against all odds they deftly maneuver through the treacherous landscape of the times, eventually recovering their family estate.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
