Librarian Note: Author listed as A.W. Reed on this edition. This book presents a wealth of poetic and imaginative tales from Aboriginal cultural heritage. While retelling the stories simply, this book captures the mystical bonds that exist between Aboriginal people, their environment and the spirit life of the Dreamtime. Even the most homely 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.
