'This book presents a variety of myths, legends and fables from the wealth of such poetic and imaginative tales in Aboriginal lore. An attempt has been made to convey some idea of the mystical bond that existed between man, his environment and the spirit life of the Dreamtime. Even the homelier tales show that oneness that links all living creatures in a spiritual relationship. The stories are retold simply, with only sufficient change to make them acceptable to present-day readers. It is hoped they will give readers enjoyment and perhaps a little insight into the treasury of Aboriginal lore.' more information
