Self confessed horse thief, a bank robber who admitted shooting down policemen, and the leader of a gang of outlaws, Ned Kelly is a character that generates fascination and controversy in both Australia and the world. Author Keith McMenomy spent twenty years assembling this unrivalled selection of Kelly paraphernalia - with over 330 illustrations - piecing together authentic accounts to form a complete picture of Kelly and his associates. He illuminates the continuing argument over whether Kelly was merely a spectacular and hardened criminal or a symbol of rebellion from repression, the embodiment of the Australian ideal of 'the fearless, the free and the bold'.
