The story of the four Beverly children, in the days of the English Civil War, following the defeat of Charles I. After their Royalist father is killed fighting in the war, the children are forced to hide away from their father's enemies, the Roundhead soldiers, when their home is burned down. They are taken to a cottage in the New Forest and disguised as the grandchildren of a poor forester, a gamekeeper named Jacob. The children must learn to adapt from an aristocratic lifestyle to that of simple forest cottagers.
