Seven Little Australians [Ethel Turner]

Seven Little Australians
“Seven Little Australians” is a renowned work by Australian writer Ethel Turner, first published in London in English. This poignant and eventful story about a family with seven mischievous children reveals the peculiarities of Victorian Australia – with its strict customs, natural beauty, and unexpected twists of fate. The lavishly designed edition with gold leaf binding and illustrations captures the spirit of its time and represents not only literary, but also artistic value. Today, the book is preserved in the Rare Books Collection of the Presidential Library as a monument of global children’s classics.
