The children, ranging in age from six to sixteen, are taken in by a local forester and his family and must learn to adapt to their new way of life.As they settle into their new surroundings, the children face many challenges, including the threat of discovery by the Roundheads who are searching for royalist sympathizers. They also have to learn to live off the land and become self-sufficient, as well as deal with their own personal struggles and emotions.The novel is set against the backdrop of the English Civil War, and Marryat uses historical events to add depth and context to the story.
