Canberra, Cook: Mulini Press, 1994. Paperback large octavo, very good condition, black & white drawings, frontispiece, minor edgewear, minimal scuffs front cover, minimal biro annotation. 122 pp. A series of tales by John George Lang about the convict period of early Australia. They are fictionalized true stories mostly about convicts. The stories are about ghosts, murders and currency lads, and include some of the women who made good in the young colony of New South Wales. The first tale about Fisherâs Ghost is the best known. Theree other tales are about Aborigines. One of the 'legends' is about the builder who brought out soil from Ireland to keep the snakes away because Saint Patrick got rid of the snakes from Ireland. These stories are an important part of Australia's heritage, as they do not portray the convict system as does Marcus Clarke ('His Natural Life') and Price Warung ('Tales of the Convict System'). (No 8 in the series 'Australian Books on Demand' from Mulini Press. Minor biro correction in Introduction by book collector Alan Ivey. 1 of 2 available copies.).
