Ethel Turner (1870-1958) is the author of some of Australia's best-selling children's novels including Seven Little Australians and The Cub. Many of her early stories first appeared in The Bulletin. She was editor of the Children's Page in the Town and Country Journal for 27 years and then Cheif Sunbeamer for the Sunday Sun. In private life she was Mrs H.R. Curlewis. Here, her granddaughter, Philippa Poole, has selected the most interesting sequence of events from the author's diaries, from 1889, at the start of her outstanding literary career, to 1930, when with the tragic death of her daughter, Jean, she ceased writing children's books altogether. Candid and imaginative in life as well as in literature, Ethel Turner's diaries bring her Sydney life in the 1900s into attractive perspective, describing Government House balls and garden parties, and generous gifts bought from the financial success of her books. Readers of her diaries today will appreciate the achievements of Ethel Turner, both in literature and in Australian society, and gain more understanding of her unique place in our heritage.
