by Ballantine Books Together this makes for a perfect piece of historical escapism, just be prepared for a long leisurely read not a frantic race for the finish line.If you've enjoyed this author's other works such as Russka, London, or Sarum, then you should enjoy this book since it's written in the same style, with multiple family lines throughout the eras. As I came in to write this I noticed that he cites James A. Michener as an influence. The book is divided up into various sections/periods where we follow the Prides, Furzeys and Puckles, Albions, Tottons and Seagulls as they live and breathe the Forest, its customs and traditions while trying to better tFor some reason I found this more engrossing and enjoyable than ‘London’ despite the fact it was written in much the same way, using family histories, quarrels and affairs as well as major historical events to portray life in the New Forest from its early days to the modern era. The story then goes on to explain the how's, why's and who's of life in the tree.

The stories are connected by many common surnames that keep reappearing, the same geographic location and in some cases an amulet that is handed down from generation to generation.I discovered this gem at my local Half-Price Books. This is a history of the New Forest from 1099 to 2000 with more than 750 pages! Maybe I should have read more of the reviews to see what I was getting into. They should be just the sort of thing to appeal to me but they so very don't! I learnt so much about the New Forest and its ways and the lives of the people who lived there. And who knows what force fields, as yet unmeasured by man, may surround the physical manifestation of a tree?”

I absolutely love historical fiction that spans multiple eras, and this book goes through about 900 years of history (1099-2000) and the author does a great job of weaving events from the world in general within the location of the New Forest and its surroundings (the Spanish Armada, the politics of England and the trials and tribulations of its kings and the Commonwealth, etc)It was surprising to find a book covering 900 years and over 700 pages that could be so engrossing. It could do so, if it chose, through more than three hundred and sixty degrees.”“For it is a fact that the roots of a tree mirror the spreading crown of its branches. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. History is clothed in the fictional stories of several types/classes of traditional Forest families through the generations. The Jungle Book was an old Classic but now I'm Going to Make The Forest Book on March 2013 it will be on Youtube. A beautifully written, sensitively told story of a white boy brought up by Indians, The Light in the Forest is a beloved American classic. Just a bit too long.The most evocative book I have read for a long time. Even though we're including both fiction and non-fiction books, each one of them is beautifully illustrated and the non-fiction books read like a story while the fiction books provide insight and facts into science & nature -- a very rare combination in a book list. They are about a specific geographical area (country or area - on this occasion the New Forest on the South Coast of England) and we are lead through the development of that area - from its inception through until modern day. Very big book for a very long period of time covering a section of England and the people who lived there. Definitely a five star.I lost momentum in about 1805, but battled on because my parents lived in Ringwood towards the ends of their lives. I'm never very good explaining why I like books but thiI love Edward Rutherfurd books, he uses the same system for all books. If the tree’s branches die back, the roots do too.
