Australian Legendary Tales By Katie Langloh Parker - 1976 hardback with dust ...

Illustrated by Henrietta Drake-Brockman

This first book by K. Langloh Parker is still one of the best available collections of Australian Aboriginal folklore. It was written for a popular audience, but the stories are retold with integrity, and not filtered, as was the case with similar books from this period. That said, the style of this book reflects Victorian sentimentality and, an occasional tinge of racism that may not sit well with some modern readers. Katie Langloh Parker [1856-1940] lived in the Australian outback most of her life, close to the Eulayhi people.
