Atha Westbury calls the whole family to the fireside to prove that Australia has enchantments of its own. The tales are set in the bush and among rocks and ridges: the Lone Rock, Mother Dot, Dusk’s stronghold, the ring-dove and a pet possum that leads a doctor to his lost boy-master, with good and bad spirits contesting each child’s fate.
Colonial-era fairy tales that transplant the old magic to the Australian landscape. Download the free EPUB.
