Download or read book FAIRY TALES TOLD IN THE Australian BUSH written by Sister Agnes Row and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fairytale book is a collection of folktales famous in Australia and told as bedtime stories to children in the Australian bush.

Download or read book An Australian Fairy Tale written by Lorraine F. Dunphy and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fairy tale of long ago unfolds by a mystical, red mountain in Australia called Uluru. The Aboriginal People, who live nearby, have a great knowledge of Earth and have carefully protected a secret for thousands of years. Will the secret be lost or revealed?Follow the fairies: Kiwi, Sassy, Madame Fairy and Josh, as they go on a magical adventure and lead you to the answer. I lived and worked in Connecticut for many years, until a recent move to Arizona. I am employed at a university and enjoy the distinctive character of Arizona on my commute. My inspiration for this fairy tale was a combination of telling bedtime stories to my children, when they were very young, and my respect for Indigenous Australians who, I believe, have an ancient and profound knowledge of our Earth. Writing this book, off and on, for the past several years has been more fun than work. I hope you have fun reading it. Sincerely, Lorraine F. Dunphy
