Most people think of Captain Marryat as a writer of sea-stories.But he would try his hand at most things and this,a story of adventure in a wild and romantic corner
of England at a stirring and troubled time.The tale is full of atmosphere and action,and concerns the children of a Cavalier family forced to live in hiding in the woods while their father's enemies rule the land,living 'off the country', dependent only on their skill with horses and farm stock and their ability to capture the wild game of the forest.
