Publishers Description: Ethel Turner has charmed generations of readers with her delightful children's books, including Seven Little Asutralians, Miss Bobbie and Family at Misrule. In this collection her granddaughter, Philippa Poole has selected the most interesting passages from the author's diaries, spanning her literary career from 1889 to 1930. Ethel Turner emerges from these personal writings as a talented and determined author. Candid and imaginative, her diaries create an exciting picture of her life in turn-of-the-century Sydney, and the social whirl of garden parties and balls at Government House. After her marriage in 1896, she writes about her two children and, as always, her books.Philippa Poole, through her perceptive commentary on the diary entries, gives illuminating side lines to Ethel Turner's at times audacious, and brilliant career.
