Although Marryat is more widely known for novels inspired by his experience as a captain in the Royal Navy, 'The Children of the New Forest' is an historical children's novel set in the aftermath of the English Civil War. Bringing his readers into the world of danger and political intrigue that was England in the 17th century, Marryat earns his place as one of the leading adventure writers of his time. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
