Fatherless Seb Quilter is uprooted from the familiar surroundings of a nineteenth-century London slum and taken to begin a new and healthier life in the Cotswold village of Swinbrook,on the edge of the great royal forest of Wychwood.The dense forest,a refuge for gipsies,tinkers and fugitives from the harsh laws of the land,is under threat,and village life is very different from anything Seb has known before.Seb's first encounter is with Anna,a blind gipsy girl who is more at home in the open air of the forest than in the houses of the 'gorgios'.When Anna's horse-owning brother is arrested and charged with highway robbery,Seb is launched on a series of adventures involving the amoral Melody,a Wychwood tinker-girl,and Carrie,the patient, crippled daughter of the man who befriends Seb and his mother.
Wychwood is the story of a young man's fight for health and fortune,and of his impossible love for a girl whose background is alien to his own.It is also the story of a magnificent and ancient forest that is as doomed as the way of life of the gipsies who inhabit it.
