About This Book

A child raised on a sprawling rural station spends her days among stables, a beloved pony, family and household characters, and the wide bush; the narrative moves episodically through play, animal antics, fishing, a menagerie race, a circus visit and outdoor camping, while encountering hazards such as a bush fire and a local murder that draw the community together. Through these incidents she shows resourcefulness and forms friendships, and the account balances domestic charm and adventure with moments of danger and quiet moral growth.
