It was in the month of November in this year that King Charles,
accompanied by Sir John Berkely, Ashburnham, and Legg, made his
escape from Hampton Court, and rode as fast as the horses could
carry them toward that part of Hampshire which led to the New
Forest - It is 1647. Charles I has been defeated in the civil war,
but has escaped captivity and is making for France. Parliamentary
soldiers searching the New Forest decide to burn the house of
Colonel Beverly, a royalist officer killed at the Battle of Naseby.
His four children are rescued by their father's gamekeeper, Jacob,
who takes them in. The children gradually shed their aristocratic
sensibilities and adapt to the simple ways of the forest, working
Jacob's farmstead and befriending other inhabitants of the
woodland. But when Charles II raises an army and the spectre of war
returns to haunt the Beverly children, they realise they cannot
hide from their true identity. This is the first enduring
historical novel for children, which conjures up as much magic
today as it did on first publication.
