A gripping work of Australian historical biography, this account chronicles the turbulent life of Ned Kelly, the legendary bushranger who became one of Australia's most enduring folk heroes and outlaws. George Farwell presents the dramatic arc of Kelly's story — from his impoverished Irish-Australian upbringing in the Victorian goldfields to his violent clashes with colonial police and his ultimate capture and execution in 1880 — with vivid narrative authority. The work illustrates how Kelly's defiance of the colonial establishment transformed him into a symbol of working-class resistance, capturing the raw tension between the law and the dispossessed in nineteenth-century Australia. Written with a compelling, journalistic energy, Ned Kelly brings to life not only the man himself but the rugged, lawless landscape that shaped him, making it an essential read for anyone drawn to the mythology and reality of Australia's frontier past.
