Four young orphans are determined to avenge their fathers death as they set out to help restore deposed King Charles the First to the throne. Set in this turbulent time of English history, when Oliver Cromwells Leveller army hunted down those loyal to the king, Children of the New Forest is an enjoyable and vivid story of adventure and courage.
England in 1647: King Charles is in prison, and Cromwell's men are fighting the King's men. These are dangerous times for everybody. The four Beverley children have no parents; their mother is dead and their father died while fighting for the King. Now Cromwell's soldiers have come to burn the house - with the children in it. The four of them escape into the New Forest - but how will they live? What will they eat? And will Cromwell's soldiers find them?
