A Little Bush Maid by Mary Grant Bruce
4.0
I found this book by complete fluke in 1999. I remember walking through the local bookstore with my mum and bugging her to buy it for me as it had illustrations by a guy called John Lennox, and we had pictures by him at home. My bugging worked as I went home with the book and read it.
It wasn't until highschool (2001-2004) that I realised there were others in the series. I read the ones in the school library so many times I'm surprised they didn't fall apart.
When I was in year 9, my mum found a heap in the local second hand bookstore and doled them out to me one book a week to make them last.
Then in 2004, I was doing work experience in my sister's school library and got very excited when I found books in the series that I hadn't seen before. I immediately borrowed them and read them all in the space of a week and a half. I was very upset when I had to return them.
At the end of the school year, I was asked back to help tidy the library up, and as payment I received the books in the series that I didn't own. I walked them all home that afternoon, excited to find homes for them on my bookshelf.
The books may be seen as outdated now, but they still have all the wonder that they had when I was a young teen. I can pick up any book in the series and start reading it. These books bring me so much joy.
