Children of the New Forest (Children's Illustrated Classics)

A story of adventure in a wild and romantic corner of England during the stirring, troubled times in 1647 following the defeat of Charles I in the Civil War. The tale is full of atmosphere and action, and concerns the children of a cavalier family forced to live in hiding in the woods while their father's enemies rule the land, living off the country, dependent only on their skill with horses and farm stock and their ability to capture the wild game in the Forest.
