Love it!
Written by a local writer there is so much connection I can make. The mischief and the stress these children put their poor father through is legendary. A noble and admirable ending too.

Thought I have grown out of reading children's books, but we never will be. More so when the story line concerns with seven naughty ones. But be warned, these are not the peppermint children of 'Sound of Music' for the "very excellent reason that Australian children never are". Even their house bears the name 'Misrule' and that is what the story is all about; the little anarchist kingdom that runs behind a military strict father and their subsequent growth to maturity through sometimes painful experiences.
They might have shared a different century with the aboriginal-white discrepancy raging outside but not tampering with their blissful lives, but the delight the reading permeates remains same so much so that the sad fate of Judy wrings out hearts, and we may wish our best for Meg but surely we will miss the plump, little General from our drawing rooms.

I didn't sign up to read a book about a little girl dying.
Apart from that, it was one of the most boring books I have ever read.

An incredibly important book in my development as a reader (year read an estimate). I loved this and went on to read the others in the series but none were quite the experience of the first. It took me YEARS to track down a copy of one of them, Little Mother Meg. Good memories :)
