The Switherby Pilgrims: A Tale of the Australian Bush (Living History Library)
by Eleanor Spence Author
(From Amazon): Eleanor Spence Miss Arabella Braithewaite of Switherby knows there is no future for the ten orphans she has gathered together in these years of England’s grim factory growth in the early 1820s. Her plan, quite outrageous in the eyes of most, is to take the children to Australia to take up a land grant. On a new continent, and after a daunting ocean voyage, the challenges begin. To the orphans it becomes a life-giving adventure. Ages 10 and up.
