In 1902, a Melbourne schoolteacher, Jeannie Gunn, went with her new husband to live on the remote Elsey cattle station near the Roper River in the Northern Territory.

Though she spent little more than a year there, her experiences in the outback and her contact with the local Aborigines impressed her deeply. On her return to Melbourne, she set down her recollections in two books, We of the Never Never and the Little Black Princess.

These books have become classics of Australian literature. They are presented here in a special condensed edition. (back cover)
