Children of the New Forest: The Story of Four Young Orphans in the English Civil War
by Captain Marryat
Four orphaned brothers and sisters escape the soldiers of the English Civil War and hide in the New Forest, where they pretend to be an old forester's grandchildren. Children who grew up in comfort learn to hunt, farm and look after each other, and it is lovely to watch them become strong and self-reliant. As the eldest brother grows up, he is drawn into the Royalist cause and finds love too. This old classic mixes adventure with real history.
