Summary "The Family at Misrule" by Ethel Turner is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set in Australia, the story unfolds the dynamics within the Woolcot family, focusing on the interactions among siblings, particularly Meg, the responsible eldest sister, and her younger brother Bunty, who struggles with honoring family expectations. The book likely explores themes of familial responsibility, childhood innocence, and the challenges of adolescence. At the start of the story, we witness a day filled with the lively chaos of a family at Misrule, punctuated by the antics of the younger siblings. Meg Woolcot is portrayed as dedicated and somewhat overwhelmed as she juggles her duties of caring for her younger siblings while dealing with the trials of an adolescent brother, Bunty, who has recently become embroiled in difficulties at school. The opening chapter highlights the contrasts between the children's personalities, such as Meg's nurturing nature and Bunty's rebellious streak, setting the stage for potential conflict and growth within the family unit as they navigate the joys and tribulations of childhood.
