An excellent book containing around 70 stories from the aboriginal dreaming, with wonderful titles such as ‘How Tortoise Got His Shell’, ‘The First Bullroarer’ and ‘The First Man in the Southern Cross.’ Gives a good insight into the Aboriginal creation myths and is a valuable resource for the storyteller. A must read for anyone interested in mythology or Aboriginal Australia. Of course the Aboriginals considered the dreaming myths as actual fact as do I.
