Here, in this magnificently illustrated volume, is the essence of Australia's rich and unique folklore - tall tales and true ones of our legendary characters; deeds, ballads and songs of bush heroes; stories of shipwrecks and sagas of the outback; and grim echoes of the convict days. No country has a more robust folklore than Australia, nor so distinct a language. Richly humorous - yet full of epics and stark tragedy - this collection is one for all ages. The stories are timeless and part of our national heritage.
