ustrations by A. J. Johnson. "A capital story, charged with incident of a lively and stirring kind, in which children play some interesting parts."--_Saturday Review._ "The pictures of their characters and careers seem taken from the life, and there is a novelty in some of the surroundings of the household which makes the volume eminently readable.... There are not wanting passages of true pathos, and some vividly picturesque descriptions of Australian scenery."--_Daily Telegraph._ THE FAMILY AT MISRULE. A Sequel to the above. Illustrations by A. J. Johnson. "Delightful young people they are, with all their mistakes and innocent naughtiness, yet so bright and natural they cannot fail to charm."--_Graphic._ "All who were delighted with 'Seven Little Australians'--as all were who read the charming story--will welcome 'The Family at Misrule.'... The story is charmingly written."--_Leeds Mercury._ THREE LITTLE MAIDS. Illustrations by A. J. Johnson. "A tale of absorbing interest. The book all through is written in a vein that will afford genuine delight to those into whose hands it may fall."--_Morning Advertiser._ "A capital story, told with vivacity, point, and humour. Admirably calculated to interest young people."--_Publishers' Circular._ THE CAMP AT WANDINONG. Illustrations by Frances Ewan and others. "Ethel Turner has given us in 'The Camp at Wandinong' such an insight into the thoughts and nature of childhood as is nothing short of marvellous. It is no exaggeration to say that in our experience no truer representations of child life have ever been brought before the public. Mrs. Curlewis's pathos is of that simple and intimate description that will find its way straight to the hearts of her readers."--_Ladies' Field._ MISS BOBBIE. Illustrations by Harold Copping. "Simply delightful.... In its humour and its penetrating insight it is quite a masterpiece, comparable only with Miss Alcott's 'Little Men.'"--_Daily Mail._ "In every way a delightful book. It is one of those simple histories of everyday life that children of all ages like to read, full of fast and furious fun."--_British Weekly._ THE LITTLE LARRIKIN. Illustrations by A. J. Johnson. "This is a most delightful, pathetic, and humorous--yet neither too pathetic nor too humorous--story."--_Speaker._ "So brightly written, and so full of delicate touches of both humour and pathos."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
