Summary: "The Little Black Princess: A True Tale of Life in the Never-Never Land" by Jeannie Gunn is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young Aboriginal girl named Bett-Bett, who is the niece of a king and navigates her life in the Australian bush. Through her adventures and experiences, the book introduces readers to the culture and traditions of the Indigenous people of Australia. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Bett-Bett, a spirited eight-year-old girl living in the great Australian bush with her loyal dog, Sue. The narrative describes her adventures, including a frightening encounter with enemy tribes, and her subsequent rescue by a white woman referred to as "the Missus". Bett-Bett's independence and resourcefulness shine as she learns to fend for herself, cook, and adapt to new experiences while embracing both her identity and the wider world around her. The opening chapters set the stage for an engaging exploration of Bett-Bett's life, her interactions with her community, and the amusing dynamics between her and the white settlers.
