Commentary In Pursuance Of Books The Children of the New Forest

It is strange when there is a connection found between dissimilar things in our everyday life. While I was reading this book by Frederick Marryat, I read on a plaque on my nightly rounds at the museum that the artist Thomas Chambers used Marryat's naval writings as an inspiration for some of his seascapes. It shows how famous Marryat was back in the 1800s. Now he has been forgotten, although there is much that is sweet and charming about this story of 4 orphan children who have to make a life from scratch after their father is killed in a war between the Roundheads (those in favor of Cromwell) and the Cavaliers (who wanted to keep the monarchy in place) of England and their ancestral home is burned by the Roundheads, as their father fought for King Charles.
A kind and loyal forrester of Colonel Beverley (the children's father) takes them into his forest home and they are incognito as they were thought to have perished in the conflagration. The Forrester teaches the 2 boys and 2 girls how to survive and live off of the forest. Marryat is not a great wordsmith and it is simply told, the worst errors come in the conversations between the brothers, who don't talk in a natural manner, but seem to be making lists of things to each other. The girl's characters are underdeveloped and not as interesting as the boys are so I think this would be enjoyed by boys more than by girls.

Criticism Appertaining To Books The Children of the New Forest

Children of the New Forest is an old childrens story, originally published in 1847, that I never would have read had I not been trying to read all of the 1001 Childrens Books. Its historical fiction, set back in the 17th century during the time of the English Civil War. Its the story of the four Beverley children who are orphaned and subsequently taken in by a local forester who disguises them as his grandchildren. The four children remain in hiding for the duration of the war and learn from

DNF.A school read, but luckily a multiple choice one... I'm reading Little Women instead.It was so dull and boring, and the writing style... agh, no thanks. I doubt I'll ever come back to this. (Maaaybe. But only under dire circumstances. Haha.)

This one seems to be in the same line of young adult fiction as Ballantyne or Stevenson (not that the writing is of Stevenson quality, just the same genre) - Stories For Boys, you know, kids out on their own, with no adult supervision, having to make their way in the world and participating on historical events in the meantime - in this case, the trouble between the Cavaliers and the Roundheads. Not a bad story, but I should have read it back when I was a teen myself. It would have hit the spot.

To call this a children's book is somewhat misleading. Yes, it is about 4 children, but it is written in a style more suited to adult readers. It's still a good book. I would describe it more as a young adult, historical fiction novel. It's a bit of a history lesson about England in the mid 17th century during the English Civil War. King Charles I has been dethroned, eventually to be executed, and Oliver Cromwell has assumed leadership. The heir, Charles II has escaped to exile and will

I ummed and ahhed over my rating for this and eventually plumped for the full 5 stars, because I thoroughly enjoyed this ripping yarn.When a youngster I read Marryats Mr Midshipman Easy, another tale of a high born young man having to make his way under the guise of a lower caste. I remember enjoying that one too, because the author has a very easy reading style and feels like a fireside story on a winter night.Here we meet the Beverley children. Orphaned when their father died at the Battle of
