Children of the New Forest by Frederick Marryat is a historical novel set during the English Civil War. After their father, a Royalist colonel, is killed, four orphaned children—Edward, Humphrey, Alice, and Edith Beverley—flee to the New Forest. They are sheltered by Jacob Armitage, a forester, who teaches them survival skills. Living in hiding, Edward later joins the Royalist cause, while his siblings maintain their rural life. The story explores themes of loyalty, resilience, and justice. Eventually, King Charles II is restored, and Edward regains his inheritance, reuniting with his family in a triumphant conclusion.
