Catherine Eliza Somerville Stow (1856-1940), who wrote as K Langloh Parker, was a writer who lived in northern New South Wales. She compiled and published the stories in Australian Legendary Tales in 1895, at a time when she was witnessing what she considered the dying out of local Indigenous peoples.

This is a selection by H Drackman-Brockman from the five published volumes. Elizabeth Durack has illustrated throughout.
