When my favourite character met a most untimely end, I put the book down and refused to read on. I remember reading the book for the first time when I was perhaps nine or ten. The story is a lot of fun, but it also has some tragic moments. The father was a gruff army captain, and his young wife was a sweet and kind stepmother to the children, most of whom were spirited and often mischievous. This is an Australian classic that tells he story of the Woolcot family, and is set near Sydney in the late 19th century. My copy of ‘Seven Little Australians’ is rather tattered and the worse for wear, a result of having been read many, many times. ![]()
