AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'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)
