'This is the dreamtime story of how a great warrior inspired his people to unite against the poisonous scourge of the Two Body Monster Malan and his wicked spirits the Djimis.'

'Set around Kalumburu in the remote north east Kimberley, this story is enriched with words from the traditional P'la language, spoken by the Kuini and Kulari people in years gone by, and uses photographs of local ice age rock art to assist in the story telling.'

'A Hero in the Night Time of the Dreaming will delight and entertain anthropologists, students of aboriginal language and culture, rock art enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys a tale of triumph over evil. ' (Source: Dreamtimehero website)
1 y separately published work icon Señor Pilich the Monastery Cat in Wartime Kalumburu Anscar McPhee , Fitzroy : Blue Vapours Publishing , 2009 7166134 2009 single work children's fiction children's

'It's 1943 and the monastery cat Señor Pilich finds himself on the Kalumburu Mission, in the far north of Western Australia. Filling his days exploring the wilderness and helping the monks build a new monastery, life is pretty good for this cat of superior talent and importance, but the arrival of a mysterious stranger is the first sign of approaching trouble. This lively tale by Benedictine Anscar McPhee, offers readers of all ages a rare glimpse into life in the remote Kimberley region, and a vivid portrait of the role Kalumburu and its people played during the World War II bombings of northern Australia.'(Publication summary)
