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.

I liked this story of how the children made a life for themselves in the New Forest. On the down side it is very patronising to the female and foreign characters, which may be partly due to it being written about 170 years ago.
