This volume contains an illustrated collection of Australian Aborigine
folklore, rewritten for a general audience. "Some Myths and Legends of
the Australian Aborigines" is highly recommended for those with an
interest in mythology and Australian Aboriginal culture, and it would
make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents
include: "Why the Crow is Black", "How the Stars Were Made", "Rolla-Mano
and the Evening Star.", "The Story of the Seven Sisters and the Faithful
Lovers", "A Legend of the Sacred Bullroarer", "The Great Fight.", "The
Flying Chip.", "Why Blackfellows Never Travel Alone - A Legend of the
Wallaroo and Willy-Wagtail", etc. Many vintage books such as this are
becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this
volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with
a specially commissioned new introduction. First published in 1923.
