"The Children of the New Forest" by Captain Frederick Marryat is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. Set during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War in the year 1647, the story revolves around the orphaned Beverley siblings who must navigate the dangers of a country embroiled in conflict after their Cavalier father is killed. The narrative highlights themes of survival, loyalty, and the challenges of growing up amidst turmoil. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the historical backdrop in which the characters live, detailing King Charles I's escape from captivity and the chaos that ensues with the rise of the Parliamentary army. Following the death of their parents, the Beverley children are left under the care of Jacob Armitage, an old family friend who vows to protect them. Despite Miss Judith Villiers' stubbornness to resist the threat posed by the soldiers seeking vengeance, Jacob's efforts to keep the children safe take priority as he prepares them for a life hidden away in the forest. The chapter sets the stage for their subsequent adventures and challenges as they adapt to their new, dangerous reality while learning skills necessary for survival.
