Poor Man's Orange is a novel published in 1949 by Ruth Park, an author originally from New Zealand who later resided in Australia. This work acts as a continuation of the narrative begun in The Harp in the South (1948), following the lives of the Darcy family residing in Sydney's Surry Hills neighborhood.

Television

Following the adaptation of its predecessor, The Harp In The South, Poor Man's Orange was also transformed into a television miniseries by Australia's Ten Network in 1987. The production, overseen by director George Whaley and producer Anthony Buckley, comprised three episodes, each lasting two hours, with a total budget of $4.2 million.

Cast

Both The Harp in the South and Poor Man's Orange were made available together in a 3-DVD collection distributed by Roadshow Entertainment.
