Publishers Description: A comprehensive collection of Australian folk tales and traditions - stories of fact and legend handed down from generation to generation. There are tales of adventure, bushrangers, shipwrecks, ghosts and swagmen, to name only some; and there is a wide selection of colonial ballads. The whole book is presented in the highly entertaining manner for which the author is well known, and apart from being absorbing reading, it also constitutes a valuable reference work for the future. Perhaps more than any other Australian book it provides a key to the national character.
