The Children of The New Forest (Synopsis)
Hello guys ! how have you been ? :D
Welcome again to my blog. ^^
Today, I will tell you a
little synopsis from the book that I have read. Of course the book is so
interesting, I’m sure.
For the first time, actually I misunderstand about
this book’s title hehe. Because I think this book will tell about the children
who live in the new forest with fun story as like for the children. But I won’t
tell you a whole story. Ok, if you’re curious. Let’s get started !
Title : The Children of The New Forest
Writer : Frederick Marryat
Page : 254 pages
Synopsis
This story set in England during the
time of the Civil War and Commonwealth when King Charles was deposed and
the Roundheads were vying with the Cavaliers. The central characters are the
four children of staunch Royalist Colonel Beverley killed in battle while
fighting for King Charles. There are Edward, Humphrey, Alice and Edith. Their
grand home is burnt down and they are supposed dead, However, they are saved by Jacob Armitage, a
local verderer,
who hides them in his isolated cottage and disguises them as his grandchildren.
They learn to hunt, harvest, and care for their little cottage, living in
seclusion deep in the forest. Eventually after Armitage's death, Edward
Beverley leaves and works as a secretary for the sympathetic Puritan placed in
charge of the Royal land in the New Forest. He then joins the army of the
future King Charles II and after the Royalist defeat at the Battle of
Worcester, he escapes to France and lives in exile until the Restoration. The
siblings encounter many dangers and perplexities, highwaymen and robbers, spies
from the Parliamentary government, and a new Intendant governor over the forest
who is determined to capture anyone poaching the deer in the forest. But the
siblings are resourceful and brave, so they flourish in their humble cottage,
acquiring farm animals and planting small fields, dreaming of the time when their
inheritance will be restored to them. His brother and siblings continue to live
in the New Forest and they are reunited on the King's return.
I think that’s all what I can
tell you about that book synopsis. Thank you for visiting and reading my story.
See you !! ^^
