Présentation de l'éditeur
"The Children of the New Forest" is a wonderful narrative tale of adventure, treachery, and love. Historically rich and quite fascinating, it takes place during the English Civil War, when fellow countrymen were found enemies and set against each other, King Charles was deposed, and the Roundheads and Cavaliers were vying for power. In the midst of it all were the Beverlies, the family of a faithful Cavalier who had died in service of the king. The four Beverly children were left as orphans when their mother also died, of grief. Then, word came to them that the Roundheads were going to burn down their estate, Arnwood. Fate sent them into the hands of an old forester, Jacob Armitage, and they escaped to his cottage. From there, the story of "The Children of the New Forest" continues to unfold. It is a classic worthy of shelving in libraries, in private or in public collections, and recommended by many educators. "The Children of the New Forest" captures the turbulence of the war, the adversity faced by the orphans, and their survival in the forest. Set in England during the late 1600's, "The Children of the New Forest" uses language to the full, expanding the vocabulary of children while enthralling the young and the young at heart.
