It is here that Saxon and Norman kings rode forth with their hunting parties, and where William the Conqueror's son Rufus was mysteriously killed. The mighty oaks of the forest were used to build the ships for Admiral Nelson's navy, and the fishermen who lived in Christchurch and Lymington helped Sir Francis Drake fight off the Spanish Armada. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe New Forest is the perfect backdrop for the families who people this epic story. The feuds, wars, loyalties, and passions of many hundreds of years reach their climax in a crime that shatters the decorous society of Bath in the days of Jane Austen, whose family lived on the edge of the Forest. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdward Rutherfurd is a master storyteller whose sense of place and character--both fictional and historical--is at its most vibrant in \u003ci\u003eThe Forest.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"As entertaining as \u003ci\u003eSarum \u003c\/i\u003eand Rutherford's other sweeping novel of British history, \u003ci\u003eLondon.\u003c\/i\u003e\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAS ENTERTAINING AS SARUM AND RUTHERFURD'S OTHER SWEEPING NOVEL OF BRITISH HISTORY, \"LONDON.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"-The Boston Globe\" \u003cbr\u003e\"Engaging . . .
