“Ethel Turner’s love for children is vividly evidenced in her portrayal of the three little Conway girls who, with their widowed mother, emigrate to Australia. Equally charmingly depicted are the five sons of Dr. and Mrs. Wise, the Conway’s nearest neighbours in Australia. We follow the adventures, hopes and fears of these youngsters with the keenest interest, while our sympathies are aroused for the parents in their poor circumstances and endless money troubles.”
