In the heart of the Australian goldfields, where fortunes were made and lost, there lived a woman with a gift for storytelling. May Wentworth, a pioneer and a writer, collected the tales of the diggers, the miners, and the settlers who had come to this harsh and unforgiving land.
In Fairy Tales from Gold Lands Volume One, Wentworth brings to life the magic and wonder of the Australian bush. From the mischievous bunyip to the wise old gum tree, from the beautiful rainbow serpent to the cunning dingo, these stories capture the spirit of a young nation and the timeless traditions of its people.
