Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the New Forest in England, a region deeply intertwined with Norman history and royal power.

The text vividly portrays the forest's diverse ecosystems, from the towering beech woods and wild heaths to the intricate network of streams and bogs.
