About This Item
Abelard, 1979. Illustrated by A.M. Hicks. The elements of Aboriginal lore which make up this stirring tale of magic and high adventure are based largely upon belief of the Kabi and Wakka nations, who once lived near the Queensland coast north of Brisbane. Boori is a fantasy, but it shows the importance placed upon moral obligations by Aborigines in their native culture, and it is set in a precisely described landscape. This is the author's first novel. Much of his understanding of Aboriginal traditions came from a number of close friends he made among Aboriginal people. This book was published with the assistance of the Literature Board of the Australia Council. Book is free of any detracting marks or inscriptions. Extremely clean, square and bright. Price still intact. Lovely wrap-around illustrated dust jacket by Nick Yates.. First British Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Illus. by A.M.Hicks.
