18.01.2022 Career: ETHEL TURNER Her best-known work is her first novel , Seven Little Australians (1894), which is widely considered a classic of Australian children's ...literature and was an instant hit both in Australia and overseas, it is about a family of seven children growing up in Australia. The book, together with its sequels The Family at Misrule (1895) and Little Mother Meg (1902) deal with the lives of the Woolcot family, particularly with its seven mischievous and rebellious children, in 1880s Australia. A companion to "Seven Little Australians", Judy and Punch was published in 1928. Like her stepfather, the character of Captain Woolcot was a widower with six children; the book was made into a feature film in Australia in 1939 and a UK television series in 1953. A 10-episode television series was made in 1973 by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Turner published a number of other books for children, short stories and poems. Three Little Maids (1900) is a strongly autobiographical novel about her family's migration from England to Sydney, Australia. Turner wrote more than forty novels; some were about the mischievous Woolcots. Others were serialized, like her books on "the Cub", and some were stand-alone; the children she wrote about were all adventurous and independent. They frequently got themselves into sticky situations and got themselves out of them with very little to no adult help. Awards and honours Turner was awarded a number of prestigious literary awards and could be considered one of Australia's best-loved authors, she is listed on The Australian Women's Register. The Ethel Turner Prize for Young People's Literature is given annually under the auspices of the New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards. Curlewis Crescent in the Canberra suburb of Garran is named in her honour and also for her husband. See more
