Australian Folklore in Verse

Australian Folklore is written for all ages to enjoy.

It is a collection of firsthand stories all based on fact. Its purpose is to highlight the spirit of the people and to preserve folklore for new generations of Australians.

The book comprises history, humour, mystery and a variety of interesting past events which could serve as an introduction to Australian studies in schools and for elocutionary items, drama etc.

Jenny Colless, the artist, has depicted in accurate detail places and people and her illustrations complement the stories in the poems.

This is an Australian heritage book and would be a valuable asset in all libraries.
