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. "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.

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

Book excerpt: Australia! Hast thou no enchanted castles within thy vast domain? Is there not one gallant youth, ready armed to do battle for the fair ones, sleeping ’neath the spell of wicked genii? Come, youngsters, draw up your chairs. Come, mothers, ye who live your romantic girlhood o’er again in that of your children. Form up, gentlemen, fathers, hard men of the world, whose brows are wrinkled with care and worry, take rank in rear of your fair helpmates. Merchant, lock thy safe, close thy ledgers; horny-handed sons of toil, throw aside your implements of trade; gather near. I am going to draw aside the magic curtain which hides the great continent, marked on our map UNKNOWN. Turn down the lights—our magic lantern is quite ready. Hey presto! Look! Why, what is this? The heart of a deep mine! A gold mine, with all its dim and rugged corridors, its tunnels and windings, lighted only by a dull taper here and there. There is no one at work, for it is Christmas Eve. Yet the underground region is not altogether untenanted. One man whose duty it is to watch the place, until relieved on the morrow, lies coiled up asleep in one of the long drives. He is a young man, not tall, but strongly made, and with limbs like another Hercules. On account of his great strength and a certain good temper combined, his mates call him, Samson the Nugget. For what length of time the Nugget slumbered on this good Christmas Eve will never be known. Certain it is that he suddenly opened his eyes and beheld one of the biggest, and withal one of the ugliest, hulking fellows he had ever seen standing over him. The Nugget was a brave youth, but fear began to take possession of him as he looked at the intruder—a giant in stature, with a huge, flat head upon his shoulder, and a mouth as large, and about the shape of the newspaper receiver at the General Post Office. He carried a lamp in his hand, but there was a queer sheen from his eyes, which illumined the cavern with a fiery glow. His dress was a brown russet, his hat, sugar-loaf in shape, and he carried a sapling for a cudgel.

They tracked him to where he had evidently been slain; they took up the tracks of his slayer, and followed them right to the foot of the yaraan tree, in which was built the home of Mullyan. They tried to climb the tree, but it was high and straight, and they gave up the attempt after many efforts. In their despair at their failure they thought of the Bibbees, a tribe noted for its climbing powers. They summoned two young Bibbees to their aid. One came, bringing with him his friend Murrawondah of the climbing rat tribe. Having heard what the blacks wanted them to do, these famous climbers went to the yaraan tree and made a start at once. There was only light enough that first night for them to see to reach a fork in the tree about half-way up. There they camped, watched Mullyan away in the morning, and then climbed on. At last they reached the home of Mullyan. They watched their chance and then sneaked into his humpy. When they were safely inside, they hastened to secrete a smouldering stick in one end of the humpy, taking care they were not seen by any of the women. Then they went quietly down again, no one the wiser of their coming or going. During the day the women heard sometimes a crackling noise, as of burning, but looking round they saw nothing, and as their own fire was safe, they took no notice, thinking it might have been caused by some grass having fallen into their fire. After their descent from having hidden the smouldering fire stick, Bibbee and Murrawondah found the blacks and told them what they had done. Hearing that the plan was to burn out Mullyan, and fearing that the tree might fall, they all moved to some little distance, there to watch and wait for the end. Great was their joy at the thought that at last their enemy was circumvented. And proud were Bibbee and Murrawondah as the black fellows praised their prowess. After dinner-time Mullyan came back. When he reached the entrance to his...
