'One of the most singular and impressive collections of contemporary stories to appear in Australia.' - Adam Shoemaker, The Australian

From Archie Weller, a pioneering Aboriginal writer, comes an outstanding collection of stories which should, according to Nancy Keesing in the Sydney Morning Herald, be read by 'Every one of us, white, black, brindle, old, or about 13-plus.'

'Weller invokes romantic visions of Aboriginal ancestors, kings of the old civilisation with its laws and religions.' - L.V. Kepert, Sun Herald
