Maria Ann Smith is a hard working laborer in England, attempting to utilize her skills to earn enough to feed her family. At last she finds employment at an orchard where she learns about harvesting and grafting apples. When an opportunity arises to travel to Australia with a free passage and a job waiting for them, Maria Ann and her family decide to join the venture. In this new country she and her family are able to buy their own land and plant an orchard. It is here that Maria Ann develops a new apple-The Granny Smith.
I loved the additional text boxes with interesting facts.
