Forest Folk is a novel written by James Prior and published in 1907. The story is set in the English countryside and follows the lives of a group of forest dwellers known as the ""Forest Folk"". The main character is a young girl named Muriel, who is the daughter of the village parson. Muriel is fascinated by the Forest Folk and spends much of her time exploring the woods and learning about their way of life. The Forest Folk are a close-knit community who live off the land and have a deep respect for nature. They are led by an old man named Robin Hood, who is revered by the villagers for his wisdom and kindness. The Forest Folk have their own customs and traditions, which are at odds with the more formal and structured way of life in the village. As Muriel grows older, she becomes increasingly drawn to the Forest Folk and their way of life. She begins to see the flaws in the village society and starts to question the values that she has been brought up with. However, her father, the parson, is deeply opposed to the Forest Folk and sees them as a threat to the established order. The novel explores themes of nature, tradition, and social hierarchy. It is a nostalgic portrayal of a simpler way of life, and a critique of the modern world and its values. The characters are well-drawn and the writing is evocative and lyrical. Overall, Forest Folk is a charming and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
