With warmth and gentle humour, Turner chronicles the daily adventures and emotional lives of the Woolcot children — their squabbles and loyalties, their dreams and disappointments — painting an affectionate and richly detailed portrait of family life on the Australian domestic frontier.\n\nA cornerstone of Australian children's literature, this novel illustrates Turner's remarkable gift for rendering childhood with authenticity and compassion, free from the sentimentality that too often characterised the era's juvenile fiction. Her prose is observant and tender, her characters drawn with a psychological depth that continues to resonate across generations. For readers who have already lost their hearts to the Woolcots, The Family at Misrule offers a tender and irresistible invitation to linger a little longer in that sunlit, chaotic household — and to wonder what growing up truly costs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130996596955,"sku":"2026100007501-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/085144a3-5cf7-42a4-9725-35cef8d53781.png?v=1786594029","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007501-secondhand-the-family-at-misrule","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
