First published in 1930, these 26 Australian Aboriginal Legends were collected by Catherine Stow (K. Langloh Parker) in the 1890s from her time at Bangate Station in New South Wales. None are in her previous collections Australian Legendary Tales (1896) and More Australian Legendary Tales: Realizing ... that the aboriginals are so quickly disappearing - my old story-tellers and their tribes are, I believe, almost extinct - probably the only proofs that they ever existed will be their weapons and legends, which are both increasingly difficult to collect. Catherine Stow... has written a delightful book of Aboriginal legends... with illustrations by Nora Heysen, the talented daughter of the great Australian painter, Hans Heysen... She spent her childhood in the bush, and heard most of these enchanting legends at first hand from aboriginals on Bangate Station... where she lived for twenty years. She claims no special scientific training for her research... and it is evident that she has added to this an instinctive understanding of aboriginal humour and romance... The black and white illustrations by brilliant Nora Heysen are remarkable in their vigour, and decorative feeling. Register News Pictorial, Adelaide, 1930
