“The first complete account of the poetic heritage of the aboriginal people of Central Australia; an analysis of aboriginal songs as fully-developed oral literature, and their evaluation as authoritative documents of aboriginal religion” (from original prospectus). One of the scarcest and most sought after works on Aboriginal life. “You could describe it as the Torah of Central Australia.” (Barry Hill)
