| Summary |
"The events related in the following pages take place in Tasmania, which is also the authorâÂÂs home; and the cave which is so vividly described actually exists. In the story a family of English children, with a Tasmanian friend, live in the cave for a few months. Their subsequent adventures are exciting, but they soon learn what it is to be hungry and cold, though they do their best to keep a âÂÂno grumblingâ rule. It is the practicality of their wild life, as well as its excitement, that is bound to appeal to most boys and girls, for the majority of us long to escape at some time or another from mundane, everyday happenings." -- Dust jacket |
