«Captain Marryat – The Children of the New Forest»

A level 2 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Rowena Akinyemi.

England in 1647: King Charles is in prison, and Cromwell’s men are fighting the King’s men. These are dangerous times for everybody.

The four Beverley children have no parents; their mother is dead and their father died while fighting for the King. Now Cromwell’s soldiers have come to burn the house – with the children in it.

The four of them escape into the New Forest – but how will they live? What will they eat? And will Cromwell’s soldiers find them?
