Set during the tumultuous times of the English Civil War in the year 1647, the story revolves around the children of Colonel Beverley, who, after the tragic loss of their parents, must navigate a world filled with danger and uncertainty. The narrative follows their journey as they are taken under the care of Jacob Armitage, a loyal forester, who teaches them how to survive in the New Forest while keeping them hidden from the Parliamentarian troops searching for King Charles I. At the start of the novel, readers are immersed in a vivid depiction of the political climate, with references to the struggles of King Charles I against the Parliament and the implications for loyal supporters, such as Colonel Beverley. Amidst this backdrop, the children are left orphans and under the watch of Jacob, who commits to protecting them from the harsh realities outside their secluded woodland home. The opening details their transitions; as Jacob monitors the search for the king, he makes critical choices to ensure the safety of the young Beverleys, Edward, Humphrey, Alice, and Edith, as they learn to adapt to their new lives in the wild, experiencing both innocence and the realities of survival.
