"This powerful reminder of a rich and varied ancient culture, in which there were once more than 350 languages, features legends told in a variety of styles both in prose and poetry. The styles reflect the individuality of the authors and the differing present-day cultures through which legends are passed on to us. Drawn from an Aboriginal world in which each seperate group has its own legends, the stories are enormous in range. Some are violent, some mysterious, many are gently humorous, touching or even whimsical. The Alcheringa - the time of creation - is implicit in all the stories as is the spirit world so important in Aboriginal culture."--BOOK JACKET.

"Why did the early arrivals in Australia imagine that the aborigines had no folk-lore, no legends, hardly any manners, habits and customs? Is it that they really had none, or that the blacks were merely incomprehensible? I think it was the latter. Australia had much of country to be explored difficult country-on the Coast cool and equable of climate, on the highlands rough, jagged, and cold, on the Great Plains desert, with all the heat and madness of a great gravelled and sandy waste and the tales that may be told, known and unknown, are tales of endurance and adventure, rivalling truth and fiction of the sixteenth century." The author C.W. Peck offers us this collection of Legends of the Australian indigenous peoples. The legends celebrate nature as well as tell stories of their great heroes of the past.

Collection of traditional Aboriginal stories from South Australia, written David Uniapon, an early Aboriginal activist, scientist, writer and preacher, who appears on the Australian $50 note.

For this edition the stories have been re-edited, with the cooperation of Uniapon's descendants, and for the first time appear as the work of their true author. The editors contribute a substantial introduction that gives the historical and cultural context of Uniapon's work, and the story of this publication. Includes photos, glossary and bibliography.
