Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Cavalier and Roundhead battle it out in the turbulent setting of the English Civil war and provide the background for this classic tale of four orphans as they face adversity, survival in the forest, reconciliation and eventual forgiveness. This is the first enduring historical novel for children, which conjures up as much magic today as it did on first publication. The freedom from adult constraint allied with the necessary disciplines to survive in a hostile world make for a gripping read. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR000509374

Children of the New Forest
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. Children of the New Forest (1994) by Captain Marryat (Bloomsbury Books) ISBN: 9781854712523 Condition: Good As sold by Crappy Old Books Here it is: the classic Victorian adventure in which the English countryside is not merely a place of mild picnics and politely disapproving squirrels, but a fully operational wilderness where children become woodland operatives, horses develop emotional intelligence, and history marches past in heavy boots. Children of the New Forest begins with the kind of historical inconvenience that really puts a dampener on family life: the English Civil War. One moment you?re living the country-house dream, the next your entire social arrangement is being redecorated by Parliament, and you?re forced into the New Forest with little more than pluck, siblings, and an alarming lack of adult supervision. It?s part survival story, part secret-identity drama, part moral education, and part long, affectionate love letter to trees. Captain Marryat, a naval man with a keen sense for peril and pacing, takes the ?children?s classic? and quietly makes it? quite exciting. There are loyalist loyalties, suspicious strangers, narrow escapes, and the sort of plot turns that remind you Victorian authors had no problem putting children in genuine jeopardy for the sake of character development. The New Forest itself becomes a character: ancient, shadowy, and full of hiding places ? the ideal setting for small humans attempting to outwit an entire country?s political upheaval. And then there?s the horse. If you?re the kind of reader who believes horses deserve more respect and considerably more narrative responsibility, you?re in luck. This book features a horse that isn?t just ?present? but essentially part of the team, like a four-legged co-conspirator with a strong work ethic and excellent PR. It?s also one of those stories that manages to smuggle in questions about loyalty, class, identity, and what happens when ?the world as you know it? collapses ? all while keeping the tone accessible and the pages turning. In other words: a book that does that old-fashioned thing where it entertains you first, and only later do you realise you?ve accidentally absorbed some history. This 1994 Bloomsbury edition is in good condition , and it has that reassuring ?proper book? feel ? the kind you can hand to a young reader without fear it will crumble into Victorian dust, or you can keep for yourself as a nostalgic reminder that children?s literature once contained genuine danger, moral dilemmas, and at least one heroic animal. Perfect for: Readers who like their classics with plot Civil War curious people who prefer their learning disguised as adventure Anyone who suspects the countryside is more interesting when it?s slightly threatening Horse enthusiasts, woodland enthusiasts, and small-band-of-siblings enthusiasts Not recommended for: People who want their forests tidy and fully risk-assessed Anyone who thinks historical fiction should come with a warning label and a counselling session A stirring, slightly feral classic: children, politics, and woodland survival ? with the quiet reassurance that in the end, decency and determination still count for something, even if everyone is wearing boots and carrying muskets. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING.
