Believed to have died in the burning of thier home by Roundheads, the four beverly children are hidden in the New Forest by a loyal forester. "You must dress like children of the forest, and you must do as children of the forest do," he tells them. "We must all work; but you will like to work if you all work together." Their cottage becomes a little world of its own for the Beverlys. Edward learns to hunt deer and other game for the small family; Humphrey raises chickens and goats, and later captures and tames wild cattle and horses; and Alice and Edith learn to cook and mend and attend to the household work. But the Beverlys are loyal Cavaliers, and as Eduward grows older he cannot be content to remain hidden in the Forest. Off he goes to fight for his King; and the story of his adventures, and of the lives of the three he leaves behind, is as absorbing as it is gallant. Stafford Good's dramatic illustrations bring the reader right into the story."
