Publisher's Synopsis

Australian Legendary Tales: Folk-Lore Of The Noongahburrahs As Told To The Piccaninnies is a collection of traditional stories and legends of the Noongahburrahs, an Aboriginal group from New South Wales, Australia. The tales were collected and recorded by Mrs. K. Langloh Parker, who spent many years living among the Noongahburrahs and learning their stories firsthand. The book includes over 30 stories, each one featuring a different character or event from Noongahburrah folklore. The tales are filled with magical creatures, heroic deeds, and important life lessons, and are told in a style that reflects the oral tradition of storytelling. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Australian Aboriginal culture and mythology, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Noongahburrah people.Illustrations By A Native Artist And A Specimen Of The Native Text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
