AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A series of folktales and fairy stories aimed specifically at Australian children, rather than relying too heavily on European mythology (it includes, for example, the story of how the Southern Cross was formed).

Notes

  • Dedication: Dedicated to the children of Australia / Merely a string of fancies, a / Simple wreath of flowers, / Culled but in love, / And lightly wove / To pass the happy hours! / Merely a string of stories, a / Chain of mystic dreams, / Tears, joy, or mirth, / A spark on earth / That in the twilight gleams! / Agnes Littlejohn.
  • Some stories contain poems.
  • Includes a section of 'Press Notices' for previous publications by Littlejohn.
