Livre d'Or

I finished the book "Children of the New Forest" which is Childrens' Historical novel. It was very exciting. It starts explain the conflict between King Charles I and the Parlament and Cromwell. Then it starts the actually story. It about four children whose father was killed during the war. They lived in Arnwood in a mansion. The forester who was obviously a good friend of the family overheard that Cromwell's troops were going to burn down the mansion. He took the four children and all servants (aunt refused to come) with him. The servants went their own way but the children lived with him. They learnt how to support themselves. The forester was very old and knew who would die soon. The oldest took then care of his younger brother and his sisters. They had a quite good life. He made friends with other people and found out that the Roundhead was actually not in favour of Cromwell. He only pretended to be. He went through lots of adventures until he finally had the chance with help of the fake Roundhead to get his position back but he actually did not know until the end that he had help from him. It is really exiting and worth reading.
