Summary "Babes in the Bush" by Rolf Boldrewood is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the Effingham family, forced to emigrate from England to Australia due to financial ruin, as they hope to build a new life in a foreign land. Through their journey, the novel explores themes of adaptability, perseverance, and the challenges faced by immigrants. The beginning of the novel introduces Captain Howard Effingham and his family as they receive a letter from a friend in Australia, urging them to consider emigration as a solution to their financial troubles. This letter sparks a discussion among the family about the potential move, revealing their mixed emotions concerning the idea of leaving their homeland. As they confront the reality of their situation, discussions of sacrifice, hope, and the prospects of a new life unfold. The characters demonstrate resilience as they prepare for the journey, setting the stage for their adventures and struggles in Australia. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
