I read "The Children of the New Forrest" as a child and loved it very much: England at the time of the Civil War between royalists and puritans. The four Beverly children are forced to leave their home, because the royalists have lost the war and their father has died for the king on the battle field. They have to adjust to a completely different life in the New Forrest, where from now on they live like poor peasant children and have to work very hard to get food on the table. ...
Unfortunately the characters are not very well developed. What I don't like at all, is the addition of the fanatic puritan preacher. He is soo evil and soo stupid and soo annoying, it is simply too much. A bit more depth would have been a good idea!
And the love story between Edward and Patience is not very convincing: Edward looks like 14 and Patience like at least 24. Nothing against it in general, but not in this story!
