Fairy Tales Told in the Bush is a mixing of indigenous Australian and imported, colonial sensibilities. Of these Fairy Tales told to children in the Australian bush, “The Magic Gun” and “The Underground River,” are original, but the others have been brought from the old country i.e. Great Britain. The mixing of stories from the old and new cultures is not too dissimilar to the situations found in the colonised lands in South America and Africa. This volume gives a definite nod to the oral tradition of storytelling of ancient aboriginal cultures and is effectively the 19th C. Australian book of Fairy Tales. Within this volume you will find the stories of: The Little Man in Brown, or the Boy who Lied The Magic Gun The Underground River The Origin of the Yarra Yarra (Ever-flowing) Forget-me-not The Palace of Truth Sister Agnes Row (1866-1930), was a deaconess in the Community of the Holy Name, the first Anglican religious community in Australia. She is identified and discussed, along with her book, at great length in a very informative article by Lucy Sussex in the 'Griffith Review' (Edition 42, October 2013) People also viewed “Australian Legendary Tales - 31 Children's Aboriginal Stories from the Outback” ISBN: 9781907256417 URL: http://bit.ly/37RcIYR 10% of all profits from the sale of this book are donated to charities. ============== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Fairy Tales Told in the Bush, fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, fables, parables, Australian, children’s story, children’s ebook, Little Man, wearing Brown, Boy who Lied, fibs, untruths, Magic Gun, Underground River, subterranean, Origin, Yarra Yarra, Ever flowing, endless flow, water, Forget-me-not, Forget me not, Palace of Truth, King, Queen, outback, wanderings, walkabout, walk about, Wall, covered, shelves, books, library, boy, grow bold, read, sale, bull, cow, King Barak, Eat, wild berries, fish, flying fish, jump, honeycomb, mouth, snatch, footprint, Shining One, Man in the Moon, Marie, find, to the Moon, sight, see, enormous tree, grow, golden apples, toys, run away,
This fairytale book is a collection of folktales famous in Australia and told as bedtime stories to children in the Australian bush. "The Magic Gun" and "The Underground River," are original, but the others have been brought from the old country, not in book form, but in the memory of a lover of fairies and children. These tales, as told here, charmed the writer in the "Sixties" when Melbourne was a place of bush and swamp. They now charm little slum children in the so-called "slum parts" of the city of Melbourne, "The Palace of Truth" and "The Magic Gun" being always asked for when stories are to be told.
In this classic Australian picture book, a dingo catches a wombat and wants to cook him in a stew. But all the other bush animals have a plan to save their friend. They trick the dingo into using mud, feathers, flies, bugs and gumnuts in his wombat stew, and the result is a stew the dingo will never forget!
Presented in its entirety for the first time in over eighty years, this edition of Amy Mack's Bushland Stories features eighteen delightful tales that are sure to thrill both adults and children alike. Without being 'preachy', each tale, whether it be about a sprig of holly learning to be humble or an owl learning to be kind at Christmas, illustrates a truth from which we can all learn. This book is probably best described as a non-religious Parables of Nature. Whether familiar with Australian flora and fauna or not, this collection will be a pleasure to read and share.

A Little Bush Fairy is the story of how one little fairy came to be more special than any other. Of course she had, like all fairies do: wings, gown, slippers, wand and crown, but this little bush fairy became like no other thanks to a Christmas Spirit and nature's gifts. She is special, too, because she can only be found in one place in the world: a land 'down under'. And as a little bush fairy she also changed the lives of five bush creatures with their most unusual, but happiest ever, Christmas!
Two of Graham Seal's bestselling collections of stories from around Australia, now in one volume. 'Aussies know how to spin a good yarn, and Graham Seal knows how to tell them.' - Weekly Times Graham Seal is one of Australia's master storytellers. This bumper collection of yarns from the bush gathers some of our best stories since colonial times, retold in Graham's warm style. It takes a certain character to make a living in the Australian bush. In the most difficult situations, laughter often comes to the rescue.

Originally published as two bestselling collections: Great Australian Stories and Larrikins, Bush Tales and Other Great Australian Stories. 'Graham Seal has the knack of the storyteller.' - Warren Fahey AM
Meet Mr. Mosquito, drawn from a Gypsy story. He's cantankerous and nasty enough to raise belly laughs along with the eyebrows of the polite. In a story inspired by Australian bush tales, we meet Ella and Bella, two hilarious (and flatulent) sisters. Angelina's earthy wit is memorialized in a story from Swahili tradition. The eight stories in Rude Stories have roots from Japan to Canada, from Africa to Eastern Europe, but they all share a sense of irreverence, and, because they are the work of a true storyteller, they beg to be read aloud, told aloud and shared. Francis Blake's hilarious askew art brings the characters to life in this spicy stew of international stories to satisfy every child's appetite for the deliciously absurd.
