brief_description
'A Guide to Australian Folklore: From Ned Kelly to Aeroplane Jelly', is peculiarly appropriate for both the general reader and for educationalists - and their students - at various levels in our society. As the present publishers stress very correctly in their summation, the new text constitutes "A major new reference book that details allusions, characters (real and fictional), events and places, beliefs and activities that constitute the folklore of the Australian people, past and present". The two scholars - now not just editors and contributors but the authors of the whole body of text this time around - are both deservedly known and recognised as the nation's two most active current writers-cum-collectors at the present time.
