Doris Kingsley: Child And Colonist is a historical novel written by Emma Rayner and published in 1901. The book tells the story of a young girl named Doris Kingsley who, along with her family, emigrates from England to Australia in the mid-19th century. The novel follows Doris's experiences as a child growing up in the harsh and unfamiliar Australian landscape, and her struggles to adapt to a new way of life.Through Doris's eyes, we see the challenges faced by early colonists in Australia, including the difficulties of farming in a dry and unforgiving environment, the dangers of living in close proximity to wild animals and indigenous tribes, and the social and cultural isolation that comes with being a newcomer in a strange land.Despite these challenges, Doris is a resilient and resourceful young girl who learns to love her new home and make the most of her opportunities. She befriends the local Aboriginal people, develops a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of Australia, and eventually finds her place in the community as a respected and valued member.Doris Kingsley: Child And Colonist is a vivid and engaging portrait of life in early colonial Australia, and a testament to the courage and determination of those who sought to make a new life in a distant and unfamiliar land.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
