5.0 out of 5 stars A magical insight to Sydney in the early 1900s - told throug, 5 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Seven Little Australians (Take Part) (Paperback)
The Seven Little Australians of Ethel's novel are all wonderful characters. They are looked after by their very strict and unwavering father, Captain Woolcott. Judy, his firey 13 year old daughter is a rebel that he can't cope with. She is the life of the family. She plays a vital part in all of her brother's and sister's lives. It is when The Captain and Judy conflict that this story becomes more than a children's book. Ethel Turner was only nineteen when she wrote this novel. It was an instant best seller, and she recieved mail from all over the world, including one from Mark Twain complimenting her. 'Seven Little Australians' is a classic Australian novel and should be read by everyone around the world - it will certainly make you cry over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming story based in Australia in the late 1800s., 29 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Seven Little Australians (Paperback)
Seven Little Australians

By Ethel Turner

The author was only 21 when she wrote this in the latter part of the 19th century. It is beautifully written. It will make you smile, laugh and cry. Once read it will stay with you forever. I read this when I was a child and again recently and on both occasions I have used any excuse to read another chapter or two. I would have read it all in one go if time had allowed me to do so - it's that type of book.

The story is about Captain Woolcott, his wife Ester and their seven children. Ester is only 20, a mere girl herself yet mother to a chubby baby boy nicknamed 'the General' and stepmother to the other six children. The eldest child is Meg who is on the verge of womanhood but still really a child. Judy is high spirited and full of laughter. Pip her brother is a typical boy. Nellie is sweet and kind Bunty is full of mischief, always grubby but loves his siblings and always admits his naughtiness soon after the event. Then there is Baby who is the youngest of the six and who has retained her nickname even though 'the General' has now taken that position in the family from her.

The story follows the adventures (and misadventures) of the Woolcott children. It gives you a good insight into Australia of the late 1800's and the lives of those who lived in that era. This is a classic story, particularly for girls and I would highly recommend it.
