In an era when fiction was supposed to be about ‘good’ children, Ethel Turner dared to make her seven Aussie children naughty, getting into constant scrapes and sometimes getting away with them.

In 1994 this was the only book by an Australian author to have been continuously in print for 100 years.  Join Susannah to discover why it is such a beloved classic.
