‎First edition, rarely found in publisher’s original cloth, of Captain Marryat’s popular work often regarded as one of the earliest English historical novels written for young readers. It was Marryat’s last novel published during his lifetime. The novel is set during English Civil War and following the four orphaned Beverley children who is hiding for their oppressors in the shelter of the New Forest where they learn to live off the land. Written near the end of Marryat’s life, the novel departs from his sea stories to offer a didactic yet romantic vision of childhood, nature, and English history, and became a cornerstone of Victorian juvenile literature. It remained a schoolroom classic well into the 20th century, inspiring numerous illustrated and abridged editions.
