Samenvatting
THE CHILDREN OF THE NEW FOREST is a children's novel published in 1847 by Frederick Marryat
The children of Colonel Beverley, a Cavalier officer killed at the Battle of Naseby are believed to have died in the flames when their house, Arnwood, is burned by Roundhead soldiers. However, they escape and are raised by Joseph Armitage, a gamekeeper in his cottage in the New Forest.
