Seven Little Australians (Children's Book Classic) by Ethel Turner Pdf

"Seven Little Australians" tells the story of the adventures of seven mischievous Woolcot children, their stern father, and flighty stepmother Esther, living in Sydney in the 1880s. Mr. Woolcot is an army Captain who has little understanding of his children, and their 20-year-old stepmother Esther can exert little discipline on them as they wreak havoc wherever possible. After a children's prank, when they embarrass Captain Woolcot at his military barracks, he orders that ringleader Judy be sent away to boarding school in the Blue Mountains and tries to be even more strict, but children always find the way to the next adventure.

Seven Little Australians by Ethel Turner Pdf

Ethel Turner (1872 -1958) was an Australian novelist and children's writer. She started her writing career at eighteen with her sister Lillian, with whom she founded the Parthenon, a journal for young people. Originally published in 1894. Seven Little Australians gives an authentic taste of Australian childhood in the Sydney of the 1890s. Captain Woolcot strains to uphold his standards of decency while his spirited, assertive daughter resists them. The alliances among his children heightens the battle, yet tightens family bonds. The sequels The Family at Misrule (1895) and Little Mother Meg (1902) deal with the lives of the Woolcot family, particularly with its seven mischievous and rebellious children.

19th century Australia: Captain Woolcot, having lost his wife tragically young, remarried a much younger young woman to provide his six children with a new mother. Together, they had another child, making seven.

Esther had come to her bedside and kissed her sorrowfully, her beautiful face troubled and tender. The kind-hearted stepmother had begged as she had never done before for a remission of poor Judy's sentence, but the Captain was adamant. To boarding school she must go!"
