The Little Company
Author: EEleanor Dark
Hard cover. Fair condition.
The Little Company by Eleanor Dark is a historical novel set in early colonial New South Wales that reimagines the arrival and struggles of the First Fleet settlers. Blending fictional characters with real historical figures, Dark portrays the hardships, ambitions, and social tensions of the fledgling settlement, focusing particularly on issues of class, authority, and survival in an unfamiliar land. The novel explores the moral complexities of colonisation, including the treatment of convicts and the displacement of Indigenous Australians, while tracing the intertwined lives of officers, prisoners, and free settlers as they attempt to build a new society. Through vivid detail and psychological insight, Dark offers a thoughtful and critical perspective on Australia’s colonial beginnings.
