Marion Seferth grew up and was educated in suburban Melbourne before training
as a nurse in the early ‘60s. She married soon after graduating and settled
in a semi-rural area. Suburbia caught up with them, so she and her husband and
two children moved to a hobby farm in the Yarra Valley, where she wrote about
her experiences there for numerous magazines and local newspapers. They separated
when the children were teenagers, and she later remarried and settled in Healesville,
where she wrote a series of children’s books. She moved to Northeast Victoria
after her second marriage ended, where she wrote this book in the idyllic farm
setting of El Dorado, close to her beloved grandsons.
