The Flying Emu: Sally Morgan (engl.) 124 S.

Achtung: antiquarisches Exemplar aus früherem Bibliotheksbestand, mit Kunststoffüberzug und storniertem Gemeindestempel, sonst einwandfrei!

Drawn from the author's own aboriginal heritage, an anthology of twenty tales describes the creation of the world and the events that followed.

Sally Morgan writes and illustrates some of her best short stories in this amusing and entertaining compilation. The witty stories, with a folktale feel, are based around a host of characters which are Australian animals, non-native animals, spirits, planets, the sun and moon, and humans.

The first story is the title story The Flying Emu where a beautifully-coloured emu learns about vanity and immodesty when he and his friends race to the sun.

Sally Morgan is both a writer and a visual artist. Sally loves animals and is passionate about the Australian bush. She has written books for both children and adults, and her autobiography, My Place, is an Australian classic.
