Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Before you fairly start this story I should like to give you just a word of warning. If you imagine you are going to read of model children, with perhaps; a naughtily inclined one to point a moral, you had better lay down the book immediately and betake yourself to 'Sandford and Merton' or similar standard juvenile works. Not one of the seven is really good, for the very excellent reason that Australian children never are. In England, and America, and Africa, and Asia, the little folks may be paragons of virtue, I know little about them.

Autorenporträt
Ethel Turner, who was born in England in 1870, travelled to Australia when she was ten years old along with her mother and sisters. While at school, she demonstrated a strong interest in literature, and in her late teens, she and her sister Lilian Turner founded a literary and social magazine in Sydney. For an astounding 62 years, Ethel chronicled her full and exciting life in journals. She wrote in her diary in January 1893, "Night started a new story that I shall call Seven Little Australians." She completed the book later that year, packaged it, and submitted it to a Melbourne publisher. Throughout her life, Ethel Turner authored more than 40 volumes, many of which were collections of poems, short stories, and children's stories that were published in the Sun Herald and Town and Country magazines. Children all throughout the world have read and adored Seven Little Australians, and the book has been in continuous publication for more than a century.
