In 1647, with King Charles a prisoner, Roundhead soldiers burn the house of a Cavalier family and the four Beverley children are thought to have died. The old forester Jacob Armitage hides them in his cottage as his grandchildren, and they learn to hunt, farm and keep house in the forest while the war of King and Parliament goes on around them.
One of the great English children’s books, as satisfying for its practical forest life as for its adventure. Download the free EPUB.
