These stories are written and illustrated by Aboriginal people from the coast, inland, flood plains, desert and islands of the Northern Territory. Some are old stories and some are new, but all celebrate Aboriginal culture, language and knowledge. Each story is told in language accompanied by an English translation, making this a book everyone can enjoy and share." -- Back cover Analysis Literature of indigenous Australian languages (Australia,Northern Territory) Folk tales (Australia,Northern Territory) All Australian Indigenous Material (Australia,Northern Territory) Folk tales (Australia, Northern Territory) Literature of indigenous Australian languages (Australia,Northern Territory) Folk tales (Australia,Northern Territory) All Australian Indigenous Material (Australia,Northern Territory) Audience For children Notes Text in 9 Australian languages (Murrinh-Patha, Kunwinjku, Djambarrpuyngu, Anindilyakwa, Wubuy, Kriol, Warumungu, Arrernte and Warlpiri) with English translation Subject Mythology, Aboriginal Australian -- Juvenile literature Aboriginal Australians -- Folklore -- Juvenile literature Aboriginal Australians -- Legends -- Juvenile literature Aboriginal Australia -- Folklore -- Juvenile literature Australian languages Warlpiri language (C15) (NT SF52-04) Warumungu language (C18) (NT SE53-01) Wubuy / Nunggubuyu language N128 Kunwinjku language (N65) (NT SD53-02) Djambarrpuyngu language (N115) (NT SD53-03) Literature and stories Literature and stories - Story telling and story tellers Literature and stories - Juvenile Arrernte language C8 Anindilyakwa language N151 Kriol language P1 Murrinh-Patha language N3 Djambarrpuyngu language (N115) Wubuy language (N128) Kunwinjku language (N65) Warumungu language (C18) Warlpiri language (C15) Northern Territory (NT) Genre/Form Juvenile works.
