Seven Little Australians is an Australian favourite which has been in print continuously for over a century, has sold over a million copies, and has been translated into several other languages. This delightful story, having been adapted for the stage, film and television (BBC and ABC), is being discovered by the English speaking world. Captain Woolcot, a stern military father, and Esther, a charming young step-mother, prove no match for their seven high spirited little Australians, creating a tale of fun and tragedy, which continues in the aptly named sequel The Family at Misrule. This edition is illustrated and unabridged.
