"The Children of the New Forest" by Frederick Marryat is a children's novel published in 1847. Set during the English Civil War, it follows four orphaned Beverley children who escape Parliamentary soldiers by hiding in the New Forest. Believed dead after their home is burned, they learn to survive as foresters under a local verderer's guidance. As they adapt from genteel life to wilderness living, the eldest son Edward matures through adventures involving a sympathetic Roundhead family, military service, and romantic complications, all while concealing his true identity.
