Fantastico
L’ho usato come libro sul quale basare la mia tesi di laurea e devo dire che è un peccato che non ne esista una traduzione italiana. Consigliato per chi cerca storie semplici e dal fascino antico.

Dreamtime goes home!
I was unable to buy this gem of a book while in Australia. It is about the Aboriginal author’s childhood and retells some of the myths. I wanted my grandchildren to read this delightful story and was delighted to find it on Amazon. It is now ‘back at home’.
