A Little Bush Maid is the first book in Mary Grant Bruce’s classic Billabong series, a beloved staple of early Australian children’s literature. The story follows Norah Linton, a spirited twelve‑year‑old girl growing up on her family’s remote cattle station in the Australian bush.
 
Norah’s days are filled with adventure—riding horses, exploring the rugged landscape, helping with station life, and keeping up with her older brother Jim and his friend Wally. Her world is one of freedom, resilience, and the close-knit warmth of bush community life.
The novel blends humour, gentle drama, and vivid descriptions of rural Australia, offering a nostalgic look at early 20th‑century bush childhood. It celebrates courage, loyalty, and the joy of outdoor living, making it a charming introduction to the long-running Billabong family saga
