Dreaming Stories from Aboriginal Australia.
The Aboriginal people of Australia have a rich inheritance: stories from the Dreaming. The Dreaming stories tell of the origins of the world, the Great Ancestor Spirits and how the characteristics of animals and the unusual landscape of Australia came to be.
In this book, Jean Ellis has prepared a second collection of Dreaming stories from Aboriginal groups in different areas of Australia. Stories about the turtle, the kangaroo, the owl, the platypus, the willy wagtail, the snake, butterflies and the stars are included. These beautifully crafted stories give insight into the age old questions concerning creation, life and death.
