AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The author, having immortalised Joey, the great grey forest dweller, in King of the Ranges, now weaves a magic tale around Joey's cousin - the great red Kangaroo of the western plains. But, like Joey the Range King, Arunga the Red Emperor is no ordinary kangaroo. In comradeship with a grey friend, he has some startling and amusing adventures.' (Dust Jacket of Old Bob's Birds)

It tells of Joey, a small kangaroo whose mother is killed before she can fully impart to him all that knowledge that bush creatures need in order to fend for and protect themselves. Joey goes through many vicissitudes - attack by men and by dingoes, capture, gunshot wounds - before he comes to rule his fellows, and by a hard-won victory over a rival animal, becomes King of the Ranges.'
