Seven Little Australians
Description:... "On her twenty-third birthday, 24 January 1893, Ethel Turner began sketching out the plot of a children's novel. A few days earlier she had written in her diary, 'I do want fame-plenty of it'. The young author could hardly have imagined how quickly and universally her wish would come true. This capitvating story of an Australian family at the end of the ninteenth century was first published in September 1984 and became an instant popular success. A perennial favourite with succeeding generations of Australians, Seven Little Australians has remained continuously in print, through scores of editions, and has been produced for stage, film and television. Translated into 13 different languages, the story of Judy, her parents and six unruly siblings has also been warmly received by millions of readers around the world. This new edition, from National Library of Australia Publishing, presents the complete and original text by Ethel Turner, illustrated by John Lennox, with background information and annontations." -- BOOK JACKET.
