Ned Kelly: Man and Myth with an introduction by Colin F Cave

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has a few marks on the front cover and a tear to the top edge. Dust jacket is now enclosed in a glossy protective dust jacket cover. Interior and binding are still excellent.

This book results from the 1967 Easter Symposium on Ned Kelly. The symposium was designed to pare away the myths, legends, lies, innuendoes, half-truths, romance and sentiment from the Kelly story and get towards the truth about the man and his times.

In this revealing study of the man and his times, the views of leading academics and other informed minds have been brought together to uncover the truth about a 'shifty, dangerous and emotion-raising episode of Australian history'.
