"Under The Pepper Trees is full of such true anecdotes, imaginary stories, and poems. There are tales of country schools, races between River Murray steamers, and about a trainee pilot from the R.A.A.F. station at Mallala during World War 2 who dive-bombed a haystack. You can read Colin Thiele's hilarious tale of the ghost seen by the sturdy German settlers after enjoying a particularly good 'tin-kettling' party, and stories of dinosaurs and other terrors of the night. There are poems and stories of Aboriginal life, of schools and supermarkets, of cricket and football. In fact, this anthology reflects the surprising diversity of South Australian life over the last 150 years."--Cover. |
