Description
A classic Australian children's novel, Ethel Turner's Seven Little Australians tells the story of the Woolcot family and their lives in Sydney during the 1880s. In 1994, the book earned the recognition of being the only book by an Australian author to be continuously in print for 100 years. The seven Woolcot children live with their father, a strict Army Captain, and their young stepmother, Esther, who is unable to give the children proper discipline. The seven siblings terrorize their small town and pull pranks at their parents' expense. After an unforgivable prank that embarrasses Captain Woolcot at his military barracks, he orders Judy, the eldest of the seven, to be sent to boarding school. While Judy is away, the other six children fall in love, run away and grow up. After Judy returns, an unexpected event takes place, leaving Captain Woolcot in tears and vowing to treasure the time with his children a little more.
