About this book

Waller Froy heads into the New Forest with a short fishing rod and the determination to catch trout. The son of the Squire of Brackendene, he follows a narrow stream through bracken, tangled briars and old beech trees. George Manville Fenn gives this boys' adventure a close eye for woodland life, from a flashing woodpecker to the awkward business of lowering a fishing line through overhanging branches.

The suspense sharpens in the scene of Godfrey, a young fugitive and spy who fears discovery when a heavy figure passes nearby in the darkness. His attempt to regain an attic refuge involves climbing a fir tree and working his way along a rope to the window. This historical adventure combines outdoor detail with the physical demands of hiding and escape.
