Reviews

This may be the very best book about Aboriginal people, as it has been written by a BlackFella, the first one to have ever published a book, a great inventor who figures on AU$50 bill, late mister David Unaipon ! A must-have !.
Non-western mythology definitely needs more attention than it is receiving at the moment, including those of the Australian Aborigines. David Unaipon's Legendary Tales of the Australian Aborigine showcases over twenty Dreamtime stories as well as the Ngarrindjeri culture, which is the tribe David Unaipon comes from.
This book has a history. Although David Unaipon is well-known in Australia, his book - this one - was actually stolen and published under another person's name.
