Summary "Uudenmetsän lapset" by Frederick Marryat is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book is set during the tumultuous times of the English Civil War, specifically in the year 1647, focusing on the lives of the children of Colonel Beverley who tragically become orphans after their father's death in battle. The story centers around these children—Edvard, Alfred, Alice, and Edit—who find themselves in a perilous situation as they navigate the dangers of the war-torn landscape and their desperately changing lives. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the chaotic backdrop of the English Civil War, with King Charles I in conflict with Parliament. The opening chapters depict the tragic demise of the Beverley family patriarch, leading to his children becoming orphans. Their only guardian is the loyal old gamekeeper, Jaakko, who takes on the responsibility of not only protecting the children but also teaching them to fend for themselves. As the story unfolds, tension builds when Cromwell's soldiers threaten their safety, propelling Jaakko to act swiftly to safeguard the children while dealing with the dreams and ambitions that stir within the young hearts of Edvard and his siblings. The narrative promises an engaging blend of bravery, survival, and the challenges of growing up amidst adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
