🔍 Synopsis
One of the first historical novels written for children, first published in 1847 and set during the English Civil War. When Parliamentary soldiers arrive to seize the Beverley children — orphans of a Royalist family — old forester Jacob Armitage hides them in his cottage in the New Forest and teaches them to live off the land as simple foresters. Over months of hiding, the aristocratic children learn courage, self-sufficiency, and the true meaning of honour. A classic of children's adventure literature, republished in this attractively illustrated Fabbri Classic Adventures hardcover edition.
💬 Reviews
"One of the first enduring historical novels for children, which conjures up as much magic today as it did on first publication." — Bibliophile Books
"The freedom from adult constraint allied with the necessary disciplines to survive in a hostile world make for a gripping read." — Bibliophile Books
