"The Children of the New Forest" is a children's novel set during the English
Civil War and the Commonwealth. It follows the four Beverley children who
become orphans and seek refuge in the New Forest. The story depicts their
survival and adaptation under the guidance of Jacob Armitage, a local
verderer. The novel emphasizes themes of chivalry, bravery, and the maturing
of the characters, particularly Edward Beverley. It also reflects the author's
conservative political views, favoring the Royalist cause while
sympathetically portraying a Roundhead character. The book was one of the
first historical novels for young readers and has endured as a classic. It was
adapted into comics and television series by the BBC, with the 1998 adaptation
deviating significantly from the original plot. The story's message of
reconciliation in 17th-century England reflects the political chaos of the
1840s when it was written. The novel is celebrated for its portrayal of the
English Civil War and its enduring impact on young audiences.
