Some Myths and Legends of the Australian Aborigines

by W. J. Thomas

[1923]

This is a short collection of Australian Aborigine folklore, addressed to a general audience. The tales and folklore are recounted factually, but the book has a few racist overtones, so the reader is encouraged to be alert. The author doesn't even pretend to have had any direct contact with actual Aborigines: this should be considered a secondary text at best. Thomas also wrote The Welsh Fairy Book.
