Australian Legendary Tales
Reproduction of the original: Australian Legendary Tales by K. Langloh Parker
Australian Legendary Tales
This is still one of the best available collections of Australian Aboriginal folklore. It was written for a popular audience, but the stories are retold with integrity, and not filtered, as was the case with similar books from this period. That said, the style of this book reflects Victorian sentimentality and, an occasional tinge of racism that may not sit well with some modern readers.
Australian Legendary Tales
Australian Legendary Tales: Large print by Katie Langloh Parker Therefore, on the authority of Professor Max Muller, that folk-lore of any country is worth collecting, I am emboldened to offer my small attempt, at a collection, to the public. There are probably many who, knowing these legends, would not think them worth recording; but, on the other hand, I hope there are many who think, as I do, that we should try, while there is yet time, to gather all the information possible of a race fast dying out, and the origin of which is so obscure. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of ...
AUSTRALIAN LEGENDARY TALES
This first book by K. Langloh Parker is still one of the best available collections of Australian Aboriginal folklore. It was written for a popular audience, but the stories are retold with integrity, and not filtered, as was the case with similar books from this period. That said, the style of this book reflects Victorian sentimentality and, an occasional tinge of racism that was apparent in those times. However, this volume does contain 31 uniquely Australian tales like: The Galah, and Oolah the Lizard, Bahloo the Moon and the Daens, The Origin of the Narran Lake, Gooloo the Magpie, and the Wahroogah and many more tales with distinctly Aboriginal titles. The texts, with their sentient anim...
Euahlayi Tribe - A Study of Aboriginal Life in Australia
An exclusive work by Parker, it focuses on the customs, beliefs, traditions and folk-lore of Australian Aborigines. This is Parker's personal account of her intimacy which developed when she lived among the people of the Euahlayi tribe. She started to take interest in their culture after her rescue by a native girl of this tribe. Superb!...
Australian Legendary Tales
Katie Langloh Parker has made an extensive study of the Euahlay tribe in Australia. Because she is a woman, she had a unique perspective in studying the women and children of the tribe. She was able to interact with the women in ways a male anthropologist could not do. Stories in this collection include Dinewan the Emu, and Goomblegubbon the Bustard, The Galah, and Oolah the Lizard, Bahloo the Moon, and the Daens, The Origin of the Narran Lake, Gooloo the Magpie, and the Wahroogah, The Weeoombeens and the Piggiebillah, Bootoolgah the Crane and Goonur the Kangaroo Rat, the Fire Makers, Weedah the Mocking Bird, The Gwinerboos the Redbreasts, Meamei the Seven Sisters, The Cookooburrahs and the ...
The Euahlayi Tribe: A Study of Aboriginal Life in Australia
No introduction to Mrs. Langloh Parker's book can be more than that superfluous 'bush' which, according to the proverb, good wine does not need. Our knowledge of the life, manners, and customary laws of many Australian tribes has, in recent years, been vastly increased by the admirable works of Mr. Howitt, and of Messrs. Spencer and Gillen. But Mrs. Parker treats of a tribe which, hitherto, has hardly been mentioned by anthropologists, and she has had unexampled opportunities of study. It is hardly possible for a scientific male observer to be intimately familiar with the women and children of a savage tribe. Mrs. Parker, on the other hand, has had, as regards the women and children of the E...
