(Paperback)

Life is never dull at the Woolcots' rambling riverside house. The seven children fill the house with laughter and mischief, and live in cheerful turmoil with their father who does not understand them and their young mother. Among them is Judy - spirited, brave and clever.

(Hardback)

If you imagine you are going to read of model children you had better lay down this book immediately. Not one of the seven is really good, for the very excellent reason that Australian children never are. Every so often, there comes a story so brilliant and lively and moving that it cannot be left in the past.

(Paperback)

Judy's father, Captain Woolcot, found his vivacious, cheeky daughter impossible - but seven children were really too much for him and most of the time they ran wild at their rambling riverside home, Misrule. Step inside and meet them all - dreamy Meg, and Pip, daring Judy, naughty Bunty, Nell, Baby and the youngest, 'the General'.
