  • "The saga of nine turbulent centuries in the life of the quintessential English hearland: the New Forest. It lies in a vast bowl scooped from England's southern coast. It makes clear the connectionsbetween primeval forest and Georgian & Regency Society."
  • "L'évocation de cette forêt de 40.000 hectares au sud de l'Angleterre réveille des siècles d'histoire (de 1099 à nos jours) : les monarques y ont puisé la source de leur puissance, les poètes, leur inspiration ; des révoltes, des révolutions s'y sont ourdies et y furent domptées. Ces familles saxonnes et normandes, protestantes ou catholiques, y ont tissé la mémoire des parentés."

  • "The New Forest consisted of one hundred thousand acres of woodland and heath that sweep down to the Solent and the Isle of Wight, overlooking the English Channel. A place of mystery, witchcraft, smuggling, poaching and treachery. A time of feuds, wars, loyalties and passions of generations which reach their climax in a crime which shatters the decorous society of Jane Austen's Bath."@en
