About this ebook

Enjoyed by generations of young Australians since its publication in 1910, A Little Bush Maid is the ultimate, idyllic tale of an adventurous girl growing up in the Australian bush.

Billabong, a large cattle and sheep property in the Australian countryside, is home to twelve-year-old Norah Linton, her widowed father and her older brother, Jim. Norah's prim and proper aunts, who live in the city, consider she is in danger of "growing up wild" - riding all over Billabong on her beloved pony, Bobs, helping with mustering, and joining in all the holiday fun when Jim and his friends come home from boarding school. A fishing trip results in unexpected drama when they discover a mysterious stranger camped in the bush. Who is this stranger and why is he there? Norah's resourcefulness is tested to the full!

Mary Grant Bruce

Mary Grant Bruce (christened Minnie) was born in 1878 and enjoyed writing from an early age. Much of her childhood was spent on her grandparent’s property, which set the scene for the Billabong books. Her first novel, A LITTLE BUSH MAID, was published in 1910 and based on her already popular children’s serial of the same name, published weekly in the Age. It was an instant success and thirteen more Billabong books followed.Mary Grant Bruce died in 1958.
