At the tender age of eight, chimney sweep Tom Appleby is convicted of stealing and sentenced to deportation to Botany Bay. As he sails out with the First Fleet, Tom sadly realises that he will never set foot on English ground again. Luckily, not long after Tom's arrival in the colony, the fair and kind Sergeant Stanley decides to take on Tom as a servant. Together, Tom, Sergeant Stanley and his son, Rob, build a house, set up an orchard and a vegetable garden for themselves, and thrive, unlike many others in the new colony. Tom Appleby, Convict Boy is brilliant historical fiction. Jackie French tells of a colony that, despite its natural abundance, cannot offer what the colonists want, familiarity. While the people's health is better than it ever was in England, their morale is low as they wait for news from home. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Sehr gefallen hat mir, dass Jackie French nie Handlungen verurteilt hat, sondern immer eine eher neutrale Sicht auf das Geschehen vertrat und auch immer die Beweggründe, die zu Straftaten führten, im Blick hat. Und die Siedler sind hier dann auch nicht Helden und Strafgefangene, sondern haben alle mit den neuen Umständen zu kämpfen.
Klare Empfehlung für alle, die sich für die Anfänge der Kolonialisierung Australiens interessieren. ( )
