The Children of the New Forest
"The Children of the New Forest" by Frederick Marryat is a children's novel published in 1847. Set during the English Civil War, it follows four orphaned Beverley children who escape Parliamentary soldiers and take refuge in the New Forest.

As they mature into self-reliant foresters, the eldest son Edward becomes entangled with both Royalist causes and a forbidden romance, leading toward an uncertain future.
